Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Well compensated. Relocation packages are awesome. Great people on my team, but can't vouch for all teams or organizations. Team morale for my group is high. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Unless you're working for a new product or project, it's probably not as fun as at a startup or some of the other tech companies.
