Pros

Benefits, pay (for younger kids getting out of college).

Cons

The collocation team seems like a fun frat house environment when you start working there. However, the catty, high school mentality of management knows within a day of knowing you if they are going to fast track you. The superficiality of management is outrageous. If they want you apart of their "clique" you will succeed. If you don't drink the koolaid you will be left in the dust. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is based on merit. I moved to the accounts receivable team thinking I would be relieved. The management was extremely aggressive and verbally abusive constantly (for no reason mind you as I was a top performer). I brought my concerns to HR and they fell on deaf ears. I had no choice but to resign from my position due to this harassment I was incurring on a daily basis.

Pros

Great people, excellent benefit package, and job stability. This is the perfect low risk low reward job for somebody who is willing to work hard and collect a pay check. Benefit package includes RSU's which offers good value.

Cons

Overall, I have not seen a lot of staff to manager level promotions. If you are ok with being a staff level accountant and make a decent paycheck, this is a great place. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow as a leader, this is a stepping stone. Probably not the worst con out there.
