Pros

Very technology focused with a lot of opportunity to learn and build a career. It takes a lot of justification but if budget can be justified money will be spent on technology

Cons

Long hours, no work-life balance. There's a strong expectation for employees to devote everything to the company with no regard for family or personal interests

Pros

Very smart people. Progressive CEO.

Cons

Lots and lots of steering committees, making it a very tough place to innovate. Policy is to do regular layoffs.

Pros

Brand, brand, brand...and well, brand.

Cons

Everything else...firm has very generic products that it touts as 'unique', the promotion process is based on weekend golf trips, and no real clear career path, mostly dogmatic middle management and quite frankly, your skills atrophy
