Pros

This company really does value their employees, offering very good benefits, some schedule flexibility, and a variety of recreational/fun activities. Compensation seems to be competitive for the local market. There are a lot of friendly, hard-working front-line employees.

Cons

You find a lot of family member and friends throughout, but particularly in management-level (and upwards) positions. This might have worked fine for a small family company, but that can also mean that (a) not everyone is qualified or skilled to do the work that needs to be done and (b) that you have to be "friends" with the right people in order to advance. There are a lot of people who want to create great services and products, but they are usually not in a position to make it happen.

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.
