Pluspunten

Good work-life balance. Lots of vacation days, lots of floating holidays, and excellent benefits. Reasonable in granting flexibility in working hours. Working from home is usually not a problem. Food is available on-site and parking is plentiful. Peers are intelligent and respectful. So the day-to-day operational aspects of working there are pretty painless. Perform your job diligently and you'll be rewarded with job security and no intrusions on after hours life. Plenty of opportunities for training here to help you acquire new skills or improve the ones you have with supportive management that doesn't see it as stealing corporate time.

Minpunten

Too big a company. News from top management takes a long time to filter down to the rank-and-file. Large size also hinders basic operational procedures like procuring a computer or requesting reimbursements of business expenses. Most often, too difficult to gauge the impact one has on the company. And too often, business aims of groups are not aligned with each other, thus creating in-house competition and redundant work. Perhaps management does this deliberately, but probably just a result of division heads carving out their fiefdoms and doing their best to survive and succeed. As a result, whole teams can be redirected at entirely new tasks with all produced work going to waste.

Pluspunten

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Minpunten

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
