Pros

Some Business travel opportunities available

Cons

Bureaucratic company Extremely poor middle management Work Life Balance is definitely something some managers pay lip service to but don't actually encourage Vacation policies are archaic Extremely hierarchical company--you don't get to have an opinion until you're high on the org chart Ranking system does not motivate collaboration or hard work New campus is not "Google-like"--they nickel & dime you for everything! No bonuses No internal job postings--a committee decides on your next move for you

Pros

Decent pay for now and good medical plans. Pension currently exists but not for long. Smart people do work here but have no reason to work together.

Cons

Everything here is a joke. Slow bureaucracy. Pay is stagnant which means dropping. Forced ranking system has everyone looking out for themselves. Rotating managers don't care about employee development or happiness. Managers will be gone so fast it serves no benefit to them to develop their group. Nepotism dictates hiring and promotion. I am embarrassed by the complete lack of ethics. It would not surprise to me to find data being forged. Rumor is the pension will disappear soon.

Pros

Great benefits including pension, amazing health care. World class facilities and opportunities for global travel/experience. They pay very well.

Cons

Very stiff, hard to navigate politically. Very opaque and medieval ranking system. Work environment can be joyless, especially in certain organizations. Very demanding. Management leads by intimidation not inspiration.
