Pros

Immediate team is usually great.

Cons

Upper management may be a lost cause as constant shuffles mean no clear goals. My pay was definitely below market average in the area - heard replacements are being offered far more.

Pros

Big company with decent benefits, training and opportunities. On site fitness and medical center. A lot of tangible and intangible benefits.

Cons

For a company that has been around as long I would have expected better processes. Things seem to be getting better, but still have a ways to go.

Pros

Great place, lets you develop with guidance, no micromanaging

Cons

Too many people in groups that have been working together for too long. It's hard for managers to be effective when the employees they are managing went to school with the manager and have worked with them for 20 years. Shuffling people around and bringing in new faces and new ideas can only benefit this company
