It is huge, with all of the good and bad that come with that.
Pros: It's huge, providing it with a lot of resources that allow it to be competitive in a wide range of areas.  The benefits are decent, the compensation seems to be competitive, and for the attitude of most employees is positive.
Cons: It's huge, which makes it less efficient than many smaller companies.  Those who work here who say things like "It's like the world's largest startup" haven't worked for a startup lately, if ever.  There are often far to many people involved in a particular task or project, and it's not always clear who is actually in charge.
