A good company. There are lots of opportunities to move up. Also plenty of lateral moves and education. Management is supportive

Cons

Lots of hours. You do not get the time you put in back. You are expected to be on call 24/7

Pros

It had a stable business outlook with good benefits and a great work / life balance. Top management was great and a good company to work for.

Cons

There was a low opportunity to contribute and the company is incredibly risk averse, so there is no real opportunity to try new things. Middle management was stifling.
