Good Company Overall

Pros

There are good projects remaining at the company, and people work together. Mostly a positive work culture, great benefits, departments talk to each other, several social programs, and stable work.

Cons

It is a large company, so it takes a while to present data for decisions. There is not as much upward mobility.

Pros

Better than most companies out there. Very reasonable and flexible with hours, which helps working families. They offer summer hours, start with 15 vacation days, 9 holidays and an additional week for a year end shut down.

Cons

Fear of layoffs and reorganization.
