Pros

On-site fitness center, excellent company cafeteria with healthy foods, cool architecture and landscaping at HQ.

Cons

Many software projects are led by Best Buy employees who have zero software knowledge or experience, and this leads to incompetent decisions and frustration for people who actually know what they are doing. Their marketing is also archaic, and even though many of the employees think they have "innovative" ideas, if they would just do a few minutes of research on Google, they'd find out that they're actually doing things that savvy competitors did about 10 years ago!!

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
