Pros

Large global corporation offers almost endless opportunity for anyone willing to relocate and bounce around. In the Assessment & Information group, the cutting edge of high stakes testing and innovation. Great research scientist teams.

Cons

It is a terrible grind. High turnover. Projects consistently under extreme stakeholder pressure and high risk schedules. Be prepared for some long long hours.

Pros

great benefits, very flexible for people who have families, very affordable insurance, very laid back atmosphere, money can be good

Cons

fake, disorganized, no communication between business units, oftentimes very incompetent people in senior-level positions, unbelievable this is a billion dollar company and there are a million systems in place and none of which speak to one another
