Pros

Good place for aggressive, young and bright people. You can gain a lot of responsibility quickly if you show your potential. Risk takers can be rewarded. Not for the faint of heart, kind of a heartless system. Job security is iffy, but you will learn a lot if you either stay with the company or get bounced.

Cons

Potential is rewarded and cultivated. Older mid-level employees don't seem to fit in the game plan. No pension-401k only. Bonus money for performance is part of the game plan, but rewards that I saw were pretty arbitrary and didn't amount to much. Job security is a problem-steady reorganizations leave a lot of people as odd men out, regardless of past performance. Cut first and hire later if you've over done it seems to be the general principle.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
