"All fur coat and no knickers!"
Pros: - employee discount
- health insurance
- sports & social club
Cons: If you want to be treated like a prisoner or kindergarten child with timed toilet breaks (8 minutes a day) you are at the right place! Apple's "think different" is also wrong because if you do and say it out loud, you will be treated like an outsider. Specific conservative managers might also advise you that your dress code will never get you anywhere.  Never saw such incompetent management (only achievable if you have good connections or apparently are a single mother) - if you hate your job, bad luck, you will have to stay 12 months no matter what. 
Also, if you come 1 minute too late in the morning (they allow you 5 min, but after that shame on you!), this will count as an 0.25 incident. You are allowed 3 every 6 months and being sick counts as one as well. 
So, whenever your car breaks down or you simply can't make it in time, nobody will ever forgive you. 
But this is all acceptable as you have so much mind freedom in your job. Yes, you can create your own emails (my manager seriously suggested this as solution for the lack of responsibility I was complaining about) - WOW!
Two of my favourites were the pathetic call listenings or the iChats you would receive after not finishing your case within 3 minutes or when you are "unavailable" for longer than 10 min. You would get a nice "hey, are you ok" from Big Brother himself.
