I like the direction things are going. They have flattened the organization, they are moving towards a more inclusive and diverse culture, they are building things that will have a positive impact on our lives.
Cons
They want to be a company that can get the best talent in a location that isn't ideal for the talent they seek. They have layoffs often and they are moving away from having a good work life balance. Which is one of the reasons I chose to work here.

Lots of people who take their job seriously and enjoy their work. Benefits are good. The company does seem to care about individuals' well being.
Cons
Bureaucracy is suffocating. It takes an act of congress to get the smallest thing accomplished. Highly matrixed company, but people very rarely step out of their comfort zone to solve problems. Very difficult to advance unless you have a "sponsor". The evaluation process is a joke and unfair to people who do their job and do it well.
