Pros

Do well get treated well, like the favorite child. Make sure your managers love you and you will be loved back. When the stress from upper mgt trickles down to you, just say "you're right and thank you for pointing that out". it's that kinda org...

Cons

Mess up? prepare for hell and daily threats of getting fired with reminders of how useless you are. Their training programs are ineffective, you only learn from yourself or your peers, you have to pave your own way. It doesn't get any more traditional in terms of climbing up the ladder here, You have to keep a bragging report of your achievements, and network your way in. And people have to like you to get promoted, your numbers are not enough.. people with less achievements have gotten early promos that don't make sense. Stress is insane here.. you can see fear in your manager's eyes and tone... Your managers will tell you one thing and deny it the second their upper manager tells them otherwise because everyone is THAT afraid to make a mistake here. Employee Morale is continuously surprising us how low it can go, Goooooooooooood luck :) Also forget bout taking holidays because you'll need the numbers to prove it & even if you're fine.. you'll be terrified about how to compensate the days 'wasted' on rest.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
