Pros

Clear vision from Senior Management Great office perks (as most big tech companies have in the valley) Smart peers 4 week sabbatical after 5 years Fast-growing company Great stock purchase program

Cons

16 vacation days with no sick days, a little low for the industry Its a big company, so many who come from a 'start-up' background may think its slow

Pros

marquee name to have on a résumé good telecommute policy (2x/week) good pay for UI designers and UI writers lots of standards in place get exposure to Agile project methodology

Cons

poor pay for visual designers too many cooks in the soup lots of late-night calls with Indian developers emphasis on saving face, unless you're a superstar new sr. design management is a complete mismatch with PP culture whisper campaigns can get you fired professional stagnation after 2-3 yrs.

Pros

- good pay and benefits - nice desks (ergonomic) and office space

Cons

- politics, politics, politics - Even when you get hired as an internal candidate for a job at a higher grade level, you don't get moved up. It's always a lateral transfer unless you're one of the "favorites" who actually gets a shot at the very, very few promotion spots that open up annually. - They prefer to hire from the outside, so get the title you want coming in because getting it through promotion is unlikely despite your performance. - I thought that being part of a fast-growing company would mean opportunities for advancement. How wrong I was!! It's the opposite of most places I've worked where advancement was much easier.
