Pros

There's only 3 ways to get laid off: attack someone, steal personal info from Geico, and to not badge out exactly 8.5 hours after bading in. 401k, medical and dental benefits The dress is casual. Good for people who like learning from lectures and listening to variations on sermons about the value of hard work

Cons

There's 5 different places to log time and hours for tasks. Political culture. Very little flexibility with the 8.5 hours per day rule Less holidays than other work places Sometimes required to go to the building to badge in when there's a blizzard or use a vacation day without the work from home access. No laptops for most developers Analysts and developers all sit next to each other in an open cubicle setting. Meetings are done via the desktop application Webex. At least 90% filled office every day. Noise pollution ensues Work from home is heavily monitored with many intermittent reports necessary. Stuffy building. Terrible if you hate preaching

Pros

Good Work and good people. They will take a person in older technologies and retrain them. Salary is competitive.

Cons

For Technology workers, the "Dependability" rating is based on unplanned time off, which is archaic. I can see it for the phone people, but it's backwards for IT professionals. So, you can work tons of overtime, but if you are less than 97% dependability (you've missed more than 5 or 6 days sick), then you are rated undependable and any merit increased is reduced. I know one person worked 300+ hours overtime one summer and then the child ended up in the hospital. The employee took too many days family time and was rated undependable - go figure! Also, the dress code is unfair. Men must wear shoes (no sandals), trousers, and a shirt with a collar. Women, on the other hand, wear pretty much what they want to wear - shoes, sandals, flip-flops, tights, pants, dresses, capri pants, pull-over tops - the only thing they can't wear is thin straps (unless there is a see-thru blouse covering), tight tube tops , and shorts.
