Pros

Strong technical team, great camaraderie between employees

Cons

Horrible management, lot of politics, noticed lot of deserving candidates not getting promotions, Raises were not even up to par with inflation, too much work with paltry raise or extra bonus. Managers did not care about work-life balance. Acted like they cared but did not. Benefits suck. 401k pretty bad. The best will be 3% match and the worst can be 0% match, no consistency. Health Plan is one of the most expensive ever with very high deductibles.

Pros

The people who work there are all great. Work/Life balance is usually very good. Health/Vision/Dental insurance are all very good. WFH flexibility although that may be dependent on your department.

Cons

Unless you're in sales, expect to earn less here than you could at another company. The low compensation levels used to be tolerable because there was opportunity for career advancement within the company but that's no longer the case as more and more senior management positions are filled with outside hires.
