Duke really seems to invest in their employees. There are many programs available, including tuition reimbursement. If you are motivated, the company genuinely appears to be willing to help you upgrade yourself and your career.

Pros

Stable jobs with good benefits. Not great but good and stable.

Cons

The company is so large you can get lost in the mix. Almost feels like working in a government job. You feel like your opinion will never matter.
