Pros

Compensation Challenging tasks Creativity acknowledged/supported International teams Normal working hours

Cons

Sometimes boring. Lack of freedom: have no word in what project to work on. (Especially coming from the academia this is unusual for me.) Have to spend lots of time gathering information about undocumented systems.

Pros

Good culture, brilliant people, top industry player. Overall its a great place to start a career you deal wiht really big important client relationships and the managers are very willing to help you learn. Very much a work hard-play hard atmosphere. Work very long hours but almost everyone I work with is down for a good time on the weekends. Almost every person in my analyst class is from a top tier school and is very intelligent, but more importantly, they are fun people to work with and have a real personality.

Cons

Large, bureaucratic--you know your place in the chain of command, long hrs

Pros

Excellent environment. Very knowledgeable co-workers and managers. They are also on the cutting edge in technology, incorporating new designs and ideas in all products. Management is easy to contact and the company itself is very open. Managers are very friendly and open and willing to sit down and discuss any concerns you may have. There are also plenty of projects for people to work on and they keep you busy; you are not twiddling your thumbs in the corner.

Cons

Work hours can be long during crunch times. Current economic situation doesn't help. Can be disheartening to see the stock drop over a week.
