Pros

Opportunity for entry level employees to fast track their stay through the TLP program. Good 401k plan and other benefits. Ethical, everyone seems to have good values. Beautiful campus (PA location at least)

Cons

Poor hiring method for entry level IT employees. Left-Brained extroverts are favored for the TLP program, which creates horrible, loud, incompetent management. The specialized program is a dead end route, you're at a major disadvantage to the TLP's in terms of moving up the ranks in terms of transitioning to management roles, and theres no way to move up in terms of software roles. Not much anyway. Multiple co-workers mentioned that they've been in the same role for years, some since they entered the company.

Good benefits, great work life balance

Cons

If you haven't advanced a level within 3 - 5 years of your start date, forget it...you're pretty much buried.
