Pros

Many very intelligent and motivated people around you. Cordial and polite atmosphere, slightly formal but not overly so. A wide range of things going on, many technologies in play. Prestige from working at an industry giant. You're working for an end user so there's no pressure for business development. Company is stable and always has cash for initiatives. Excellent corporate headquarters facilities.

Cons

Projects often drag on for years and seldom provide the promised benefits. Overambitious management has embarked on many simultaneous changes. Heavy use of service providers has degraded team spirit in recent years. More of a "seniority-ocracy" than a meritocracy; takes a long time to move up. Interdeparmental rivalries often make for suboptimal progress on projects.

Pros

great company, great team, hours are flexible and the team is great. a lot of room to make money

Cons

strict on their callout policy. sometimes you need coverage and team members aren't willing to cover for you and you are left with dealing with the write ups. Hard to move up unless you are favorited

Pros

Cafeteria offers good food for a low price. Marriott discounts at other hotels

Cons

The favoritism of employees is backed by corporate. If someone has been working here longer than you, they get to pick and choose what shifts they want. If there is an open shift they also first get to choose whether they want it or not. Lastly if there are cuts, they get to choose if they want to stay or leave before others. The favoritism doesnt stop there. The managers also make them do less sidework, and give them good sections where as new employees are the bottom of the barrel in all aspects. Honestly horrible experience. They dont care about your well being either. Im scheduled opening and closing shifts consecutively which means I get under 4 hours of sleep between shifts. Sleep deprivation is not a joke; do not recommend.
