Pros

The work life balance is amazing. The compensation is great. You do however, have to work hard. Long hours and log days are a must but, you are compensated for it.

Cons

Long days, management also tends to be very busy at times. The laptops you are given may be underspeced but, its all luck of the draw

Pros

All of this is contingent on which grp / team, etc one gets into, however great technology, flexible hours, innovation prospects (patents, publications), friendly management (depends again), etc.

Cons

Not the best salary out there, however it depends on what kind of person one is. I would derive much more satisfaction with innovation and the realization that my work is getting acknowledged beyond just the company (patents etc).

Pros

--Global size and reach provides varied possibilities to move around, and grow. --Fantastic opportunities for learning (internal courses, classes, online resources, etc.)

Cons

--Size also leads to silo'ed operations, resulting in competing internal teams. --Really difficult to react quickly to any market developments. --Acquisitions take forever to get integrated.
