Pros

The medical benefits are pretty good if you are someone that does not have a lot of medical problems. The yearly incentive for managers can be several thousand dollars. Most front line managers are starting to get laptops. You also get 401k matching, tuition reimbursement, discounted stock, and a decent amount of vacation time.

Cons

Managers rarely get praise and recognition for their work. Promotions usually go to those who fit a particular mold or who are good friends with upper management. You have to live at work to get a decent yearly bonus. They are all about numbers and less about customer service and doing the right thing. They will skip on making on process right if they can tweak it for cheap.

Pros

Good: The benefits are really great (401 K is one of the best in class), Health insurance is OK. flexibility in working from different locations within and outside the company. Very informal and relaxed work culture. People are very talented and are helpful.

Cons

Cons: No work-life balance for some groups (M&A, CM) with too much work and no work in others (ops). Lot of good work was been scrapped on the whims of middle management. Middle management: (Directors, sr. directors) are incompetent bunch and are more in numbers than required. Many are very talened but have no people management skills. Performance reviews should be more transparent but ends up being a blame game to pass Project lead's and sponsors' incompetence to the team members.
