Pros

Great benefits if full time

Cons

The people are not friendly, Everyone avoids eye contact. Management acts like they are superior and they do not speak even in passing. The workers walk around like the walking dead, they all look like they just attended a grateful dead concert. They look dated, worn out, like they quit but their still coming to work until they get their pension. Overall no one seems happy to be there, it's a depressing environment to work in. Rows of cubicles, no offices even for managers! It's so quiet you can hear a pin drop!

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and work-life balance..

Cons

Poor senior management. New leadership cleaned house taking out talented and intelligent leaders and replace them with novice puppets because they could pay them less and provide less benefits.

Pros

Great pay and benefits with educational reimbursement and 401k match. Encourages work life balance and ergonomics. Travel reimbursement is helpful.

Cons

Tenure is valued over actual understanding of work to be completed. Nepotism is rampant and because of this one must be careful who one aligns themselves with. IT is NOT the place to be right now. MBA's are dime a dozen and are a management necessity though 90% of people with them don't have and management skills whatsoever. SCE requires continuous improvement through education but stifles your use of learned skills. Management is completely "out of the loop" when it comes to who know how to do what. Hostile project work environments because of unrealistic deadlines and management incompetence.
