Pros

Fantastic benefits and great salary.

Cons

Meeting about meetings. In our dept., it was a sea of yes people just nodding their head's at management. No one wanted to rock the boat.

Best company I've ever worked for

Pros

If I can help it, I'm never leaving. Incredible coworkers, supportive team, great CEO, and a decent ability to move up if you work hard and play your cards right. The perks are great, but the work is wonderful too, you don't feel like you work for some evil tech mega-corp.

Cons

Like all finance companies, it takes time to get even the most basic things ideas out the door. There is lots of overhead and approval...which makes sense. It is a fortune 500 company.
