Pros

Competitive salary and good benefits Really diverse set of opportunities available Working with very bright colleagues Flexible work programs are evolving in a positive direction

Cons

Work-life balance is not always great and many managers are "old school" Ranking system - I've seen colleagues tagged as low-performers "resign" when market conditions are not great. Not always a friendly place for liberals.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Steady work and employment, competitive pay, decent benefits (including a pension) Lots of training opportunities are offered throughout the year, generally you are allowed the flexibility to chose the courses you want to take based upon your interest

Cons

Old school approach to work, work from home can be a challenge depending on your organization. Influential assignments are tough to secure since the company applies militaristic approach to job placement where experience in many cases is the deciding factor. The company culture as whole is not futuristic like what you expect a google, Facebook or any other Silicon Valley company but rather the old school “good ole boy” culture. It can be tough to be fulfilled in your work as it can become mundane and not challenging.
