A fine company, with some real negatives
Pros: The opportunity to work with some really great, smart people.
Lot of flexibility as to where you work.
Great programs for working mothers, etc.
Good telecommuting programs.
Cons: A few really terrible people, who, inexplicably rise and retain their jobs.  These people really don't know anything about the functions they manage.  They don't care about their people.  They are discussed widely among staff in very negative terms.  Yet they are retained by their superiors.  This causes enormous frustration for the people who work for them.
Real compensation issues.  Every year, around bonus time, the company starts to talk about how badly it did the year before.  Staff is told, "You're lucky to have a job."  "You get to work from home.  That's worth a lot."  Etc.  That is very demoralizing.
There is a complicated performance evaluation system that takes many hours to document, and is then ignored.  Results don't count at all in performance evaluations.  Only what other people say about you.  If you get good constructive feedback one year, and you do everything contained in the feedback, it is ignored.  There is no acknowledgement.
