Pros

Nice Cafeteria Nice Campus Good 401k

Cons

Extremely political Lot of Back-Stabbing Horrible Management No Career Opportunity at all If you are joining statistical programming department then kiss your career good bye. They typically hire junior programmer who are naive and does not understand office politics. Programmers are better off joining a start up or another company. Extremely incompetent managers who does not know anything about programming at all. Extremely political.

Pros

Nice perks such as the Genenbus, subsidized benefits, abundance of free food. Fellow co-workers - non-management - are very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Cons

1. Hiring of people at below market salary and slow to promote a. constant claim of "business need" to warrant promotions, but with a convenient non-recognition of employee satisfaction being a substantial part of business need. 2. Line managers more interested in own projects than managing their own staff 3. Cash bonuses for recognition of good work are capped without sufficient explanation as to why
