Pros

It used to be pay but with the crashing stock price it is less so with each day . They are increasing the 401k contribution but that is a pro only if you are close to retirement , who knows how things will shape up if you are 20-30 yrs from retirement.

Cons

Where to begin: 1. Way too many roadblocks to get things done , very frustrating if you are young and want to prove yourself. Also very few promotions based on merit , do not expect career growth in this company. 2. Do not join if you are planning to join IT as an employee or contractor , morale is low and there is not much help from senior management. 3. Weak pipeline and the next 5yrs look bleak 4. Burnout in most departments, avoid this place if you want less stress and more happiness

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
