Pros

The benefits are good, and the company has a well-deserved reputation for taking care of its employees. Most employees seem to really enjoy their jobs and their experience with the company. Many employees have been with the company for ten if not twenty years. While this limits opportunities for promotion, there are many opportunities to grow professionally and expand skill sets.

Cons

While most departments are well-run, a few have earned a reputation for mismanagement and poor treatment of employees. In these departments, communication is poor, and the only way to learn the expectations for a project is to wait until being reprimanded for failing to meet them. Salaried employees may often be expected to work especially long hours without consideration for comp time.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
