Business outlook
Pros
Great place to figure out what you want to do. It is fairly easy to transfer to other departments and work in other jobs after your initial one year probationary period. There is also a lot of food around in case you get hungry or forget your lunch.
Cons
It is fairly hard to get promoted. Promotions are heavily weighted on tenure making it difficult to advance despite holding superior skills. In addition, how well the company is doing is largely dependent on the US economy. That is, during recessionary periods the company will not do as well resulting in lay-offs, low or no bonuses, low or no raises, etc. Work can also be long if working in the Pleasanton Corporate office.
