Pros

The company has a great brand, and has many great technologies. Coworkers were generally nice to work with.

Should pay more attention to their junior members. In certain areas of technologies they are understaffed. Developers are overloaded with work.

Very smart staff. Several business units give lower level employees the opportunity to move to new positions and roles

Some of the businesses can be silo-like. While staff is pretty motivated, morale at times can be low due to press and market events
