Pros

Benefits. Emerging use of newer technology. Several good processes for reporting issues to HR / management.

Cons

Almost impossible to get the software you need to work (from a software engineer perspective). Megalithic company, so less opportunity for moving up compared with a smaller company. Lots of old technology to maintain. Management is not tech savvy.

Pros

Pay was appropriate for the position. Management was active.

Cons

They expect employees to give free overtime. Salary is expected to work overtime without reason. Hourly are expected to work overtime without pay, even if there is a reason. Management will protect themselves first. No one is truly good at their job because employees are constantly being moved.
