10,000 pound gorilla
Pros: Good benefits - including 401k matching, health spending accounts.
Flexible work styles - part and full-time telecommuting supported (encouraged).
Involved in many types of businesses, so wide range of opportunities.
Cons: Very large company - hard to figure out how to do basic business activities like purchasing, expense reporting, hiring, getting technical support. It's never clear who can help (though you know that somebody must have that function!).
Prefers buying innovation to cultivating it in-house - and crushes the culture of the companies it buys.
Business directions subject to executive whims - some things take forever to do and others happen in a moment because somebody important notices.
