Pros

- Good Benefits - Good PTO (you can roll over insane levels of time off) - Good insurance

Cons

- A tad boring - Movement upward kind of sucks. If you are qualified or express interest you have to do A-Z which could take years. Not every department gives the same opportunities for advancement - Teams dont always have the best form of documentation and this creates a lot of tribal knowledge which then creates a black hole for a lot of work to go to leads rather than get dispersed out to the rest of the team. That hands down is my biggest complaint.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
