Pros

Smart People, challenging problems, and generally good resources for solving them. Many different things to work on and generally supportive of external conferences and publishing.

Cons

Politics and a bit of a lack of personal development. Too many work processes sometimes make getting things done more challenging than they need to be.

Pros

Good experience with onboarding and training college graduates in the corporate environment. Compensation is slightly above peers' in other companies

Cons

Development programs lock-in entry level employees for a minimum of seven years. Management positions not available until 'graduating' from the entry level development program.

Pros

Excellent benefits, great pay, generous time-off policies, some very good employees, low turn-over, strong safety culture.

Cons

The culture of the organization is not positive, management, it was stable until the first round of lay-offs- which shook the foundation and has left many people feeling insecure about the organization and their future, lack of trust in leaders, poor front line leaders, negative/bitter employees, people feel undervalued, very limited career growth opportunities.
