Don't expect anyone to help you
Pros: The company has a philanthropic nature.  Very flexible work environment.  Good benefits.  Hugely successful company both historically and looking to the future.
Cons: Brutally cost conscious.  Profit is everything.  Lots of care taken about the company's image externally, no support for individuals who work there.  You have to be comfortable being entirely self-sufficient to be happy working here.   It's not as great a company to have on your CV as you may think.
