Pluspunten

1. Initially, you can negotiate a good salary. 2. Some really smart people work here. 3. Looks good on a resume, "punches your ticket"

Minpunten

There is very little planned leadership or accountability. Crisis Management seems to rule the day. If someones continually screws up as an employee or a manager, no one takes the time to address the issue or fix the problem. A very ethically-challenged organization. You are required to take ethics training every 2 years, and you just look around and see all of the violations. Some are downright criminal. But what do you do when Larry himself has a enormous conflict of interest (see NetSuite)? I also don't trust the anonymity of the tool used to report violations. The company loves to offshore and use H1-B workers. The problem here is they seem to hire very incompetent people. Your job will be to put out fires that they create. Middle Management knows whats going on, but has no authority to do anything. Whether it is rewarding job performance, hiring or firing people, everything is run from the top. This means you get the same bonus at the guy who shows up to work 3 days a week. This also makes it very undesirable to pursue a career here.

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.
