Pros

The recruiting process is fairly stringent, so the people you end up working with are of high caliber. A great part of the culture is the 'fun' element and even senior managers do not take themselves too seriously. Makes for a highly enjoyable environment where people focus on delivering results while making sure they are enjoying themselves.

Cons

Within certain groups (esp. marketing) there is quite a lot of competition among employees, with plenty type-A people pushing ahead to get promoted as fast as possible and ahead of everyone else.

Pros

Great work life balance. Work from home is a great benefit. The company also is good with its benefits. It is probably one of the best benefit system. Very good place to sharpen your analytical skills. Innovation comes from the top.

Cons

Very political place. If you are not friends with some of the higher ups or if you do not suck up to the people, career progression is non-existent. People managers are probably the worst ever seen. Company does not care about these things, all it cares is how much money Subprime is going to make. Feedback system exists but gets maybe 10% consideration. Favoritism is what gets you ahead in this company.
