Pros

Once an employee earns full vestment and maxes out at four weeks paid annual vacation, it's hard to find a comparable position elsewhere. Health care package is decent but growing more expensive for less coverage.

Cons

Senior leadership changes frequently, allowing huge, expansive changes in priorities for a global company. Millions of dollars spent on enormous IT projects are wasted when a new directive forces an almost completed program to be "shelved" before it can be fully deployed, in favor of whichever pet program the new leader(s) hold dear. CIO averages 1 - 1 1/2 years before taking their incentives and bailing. Next batter up brings thousands of employees wherever he or she feels the can make a name for themselves. Annual performance reviews are a waste of time and are usually based on "personal goals" written for an entire org by whomever is in charge at the time, but they rarely even apply by the next year's review cycle. Finance leaders project aggressive, often impossible earnings goals, then blame low annual bonuses and stagnant upward mobility on the missed projections that they set but couldn't execute.

Pros

- Good coworkers - Atmosphere is tolerable most of the time

Cons

The pay for ISAE is pathetic, probably close to being the lowest in the industry. I understand we are in sales, but 32k base salary is absurd. Especially considering how great the company is doing, and how much money you make depends entirely on your account set. It has nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with luck.
