Pros

Large global corporation offers almost endless opportunity for anyone willing to relocate and bounce around. In the Assessment & Information group, the cutting edge of high stakes testing and innovation. Great research scientist teams.

Cons

It is a terrible grind. High turnover. Projects consistently under extreme stakeholder pressure and high risk schedules. Be prepared for some long long hours.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
