Pros

Excellent overall benefits package. Flexible schedules.* Great bonuses when funded (according to company and personal performance).** New facilities are beautiful and have great amenities.***

Cons

Below market base salary. Frustrating for a top performer, lots of inefficiencies though that is expected for a company this large. Constant in-fighting between departments. A lot of politics and conniving which means not a lot of real work gets done. One can feel the apathy and atrophy of talented employees grow until they leave or get beaten down and accept their predicament. *Work-life balance could be improved, most departments are understaffed and if you are unlucky enough to be part of a 24/7 on-call rotation, you will be on-call a often. **Hard work is not rewarded proportionately, so don't work too hard! ***The amenities and facilities feel like they are being used to mask the numerous shortcomings of the company. Flash and bling fades away once you settle in and figure out what kind of work environment this is.
