Pros

Having over 45,000 employees there are many wonderful people to work with across business units. Nice 401K match. Benefits are on par with what you would expect from a company. Some teams in IT can finally do a work from home day with a lot of conditions in place.

Cons

Too many managers within each department resulted in several barely contributing to the company goals, typically common to see direct reports picking up the slack, with no credit for the efforts. It was not uncommon to see managers take credit to receive 10k bonuses EOY. Why some teams consisting of 6-10 people have two managers is beyond me. Some managers were instructed not to give anything over a 3 out of 5 for most bonus opportunities. Managers are rarely held accountable with employees being blamed for projects being late. Outsourcing is becoming more popular within the company, especially with Oracle. Acquisitions have also resulted in several job cuts.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
