Great but Unrealized Potential
Pros: Good work life balance, interesting and challenging work, cutting edge technology, super-smart people, global reach
Cons: Definitely not a place for women to work, the management really tries to show they are fixing the culture but consistent gaffs like the XBOX party and feedback from other women in the company show that there is a toxic culture that persists. Additionally the culture is very old boys network and can be hard to succeed unless you are lucky enough to form good personal connections. Ideas aren't evaluated on merit but on political prowess and connections.
