Talks the talk, doesn't walk it
Pros: Lots of feedback, good pay, flexible hours and good progression for women.
Cons: I was there during the Balmer years and the company just told itself a lot of lies - there was a need to constantly explain away poor performance or ignore it - I just felt the place was really lacking genuine authenticity and there was some serious cultural issues in my department that were overlooked for years. I felt the prevailing attitude of everyone was to protect their jobs, not do good work. They would also pigeon hole me and my skills.
