Pros

Salary and bonuses are generous. On most teams, you can work from home occasionally.

Cons

Highly political climate Job happiness depends on your particular IT team. Our manager has "favorites" and isn't always honest with us. Moving to open space as they consolidate Chicago IT staff at 20 S Wacker location. It's being done to squeeze more staff into a smaller space. Most are not happy about it.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits +company shares scheme

Cons

-Horrible office culture. - Highly political. -What many people mention about HR and management is sadly true. Management own HR and they side with them at the expense of the employees.

Pros

People were friendly, felt like a family. As long as you were in a position/team that you delivered on (contributed), things were good. The tough part is if you want to move up, you have to find other opportunities outside of your team.

Cons

1) You could be in the same position for many years. 2) Moving around to other departments could be a suicide mission. If you were not doing so well in a group/team. Then you easily face being let go. Luckily they offer the chance to move around. But if you are in the middle of a big Reorg, chances for finding a new team could run out fast.
