Great benefits, but horrible politics
Pros: Benefits, Compensation, Work-life balance is ok
Cons: Review system (stack ranking), politics, people getting promoted for the wrong reasons, have to spend at least 25% of your time managing up. Hard to make a difference. No innovation.  You can tell that people get sucked into the system and would have a hard time functioning at any other company.
