Pros

Work from home for many roles. Good retirement contribution matching. Excellent Employee "assistance" programs (counselling/relocation/etc.). Support for community volunteer programs. Most employees work well together (when management supports it) both locally and globally..

Cons

Executive team is focused primarily on cost reductions and has been for years now, hence: work from home is encouraged, no raises or promotions for staff but very high pay for co-CEOs compared to market peers, significant recruitment efforts around fresh grads who will not receive real salary increases either, see OpenWorld keynote by Co-CEO for perspectives on cost cutting, forced time off over Christmas season using employee's personal vacation time allotment. No performance appraisals, focus on "development plans" and "talent reviews" without compensation/promotions. Considering the business environment and claiming to be a market leader the stock has been a laggard for years now. Time will come for staff reductions soon. New hires must negotiate for a high starting salary, you will not receive a raise so take advantage of the opportunity while you can.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
