Great Place Good People
Pros: I work out of the Santa Clara Campus and it's beautiful. Every time I drive into the parking lot I feel very fortunate to be able to work at such a nice place. The buildings are well kept, everything is clean and uniform. While there isn't any extravagance wasted on the inside of the buildings everything is functional and well kept. 

They have a gym on campus and most groups are supportive of using the gym and taking time at lunch to partake in athletic activities when work is slow. I have made many friends with people I never encounter in my work flow and enjoy seeing them at lunch and around the campus.
Cons: There is a massive bureaucracy and things move very slowly. Also, at times it seems that incompetence is rewarded and it is very difficult to move up in the organization. For some positions, especially for people who are early in their careers, the pay is on the lower end of things.
