Pros

1) Empowerment, this is a company which does what it says it will do. It's pretty much up to you where and how far you take it.

Cons

Just like the Internet, we never really "shut off". Employees who want to work a regular 9 to 5 job need not apply.

Pros

Great company with great products, strong senior leadership, excellent brand, opportunities to grow depending on how aggressive you are with your career, excellent sales teams, stable - lots of cash, great HQ location.

Cons

Used to be nimble, fun place to work. But over the past 6 years, the company has taken on huge, multi-year business improvement projects that have created massive middle management that is incompetent, territorial, siloed, the result being millions of dollars are being spent with no proven result. Company spends millions on top management consultants for no conceivable return on investment. Too many boards and councils have made the company extremely slow. Great strategies but it is difficult to operationalize due to the incompetent management.
