Pros

Excellent, talented co-workers Good vacation benefits for long term employees Interesting, challenging work Opportunities to work with a variety of technologies Work/life balance is generally respected

Cons

Over-focus on the bottom line leads to near annual layoffs of often excellent, talented employees Poor medical benefits Opportunities for advancement are limited Raises and bonuses are small or non-existent The review process forces management to lump most employees into the middle-level performer category

Pros

Great company for statistics, analytics, software engineering, and working with leading-edge technologies. Great group of people working here also. If you're a scientist or software engineer, this is a solid place to be.

Cons

Divisions have their ups and downs, and I've heard from several IT folks that right now the IT organization is a very difficult environment to be in. Seems like they're trying to do way too much too quickly and have been burning people out at a remarkable rate. An unusual amount of attrition by long-time and senior personnel in that division and the poor folks who are left are stuck with quite a mess and are still being asked to do way too much with constant change and little appreciation from the very top brass. Of course, it could turn around, but seems like it will take a while, especially if the attrition continues and the top brass in that division don't reassess what they're doing to those people. That's just IT though, and the other divisions of our company are fairly solid and we get to leverage some great technology and it's a decent place to work. Not perfect, but no place is.

Pros

Great co-workers, frequent and fun company-wide activities. Although I am in an administrative role, I enjoy being able to call some really smart and dedicated scientists and engineers my co-workers. I also enjoy contributing in my small way to a high-profile company which is doing great things.

Cons

The worst health insurance "benefit" I have ever seen, which is probably just the bare minimum required by law. All of the other benefits, including dental and vision, are great. However, if you have the option to go on a spouse's medical insurance, I would recommend it.
