Pros

good money good benefits flex start time

Cons

They told me I would be able to transfer to another location after a year, and that turned out to be untrue, I continued working there but soon found out that if you did ask questions or raise flags about clueless project managers they would throw you in the fire. It turns out they are interested in hiring young 20 somethings who lived in poor communities so they could pay them less money due to a lack of education and lack of experience. They are establishing their next generation of "lifers" to replace all the old timers who have worked there for 40+ yrs.

Pros

Decent pay and interesting projects that allow for good professional development.

Cons

Absolutely horrendous work-life balance. I have been at the company for almost 20 years and their lack of support and flexibility for parents is incredibly disappointing. Going to the office requirements are unrealistic with little kids, and some of the newly minted managers are on a power trip, micromanaging high performers and quoting pto policies if you need to run 30min errands midday.
