Pros

Great benefits - 401(k) match $0.75 on the dollar up to 6% of salary plus separate retirement fund; good health coverage; friendly and casual environment; old, established and financially stable company that's generally well respected; concerned about honesty and ethics.

Cons

Hamstrung by its own suffocating bureaucracy; too many big shots holding too many meetings but still slow to make decisions, often inconsistent from month to month, and making decisions that are "too safe" vs. aggressive competitors; difficult to advance due to a high level of internal politics.

Pros

Medical Company - Good place to gain experience. More responsibilities and assignments are given based on good job performance. Performance is the cost of freedom.

Cons

Manangement panders to hot program of the month. Promotions are not given based on reviews or job performance. Promotions are given based on management favoritism.
