Great, Large, Stable Company to work.
Pros: Large, Stable company with great benefits. The pay is pretty good, and the stock has been on the rise for at least 6 years. Like any big company, you have a secure job.  You don't have to work extremely hard, and the campus is very nice.  I've worked as both a remote employee and a HQ based one.  Each were fulfilling jobs.
Cons: Promotions tend to be hard to get.  Typical large company problems, where you feel like you can't make a huge difference. Sometimes the process can get in the way on innovation. Hence the amount of small acquisitions. Small companies tend to innovate better than large ones.
