Pros

Lots of growth opportunities. Intense means you learn a lot quickly. My mgr was encouraging, supportive, and made sure i had balance. You can see the results and impact of your work (depending on dept), and if you like problem solving there is lots of that here. I feel the compensation is fair and I love their benefits. Lots of very smart, capable people here all trying to reach a common goal.

Cons

Executive mgmt is out of touch with reality, so deadlines and expectations are unrealistic. This causes people to burn out, get disillusioned, or cut corners, and timelines are constantly pushed out. There's pretty high turnover as the company tries to grow and mature. Still lots of silo-ing, and poor overall accountability. About half the managers are awful to work for, while the other half are great.
