Pros

Work from home twice a week. Decent salaries. Management is pretty consistent: paper pushers and routines more important than results.

Cons

Lots of family-protected jobs in ITS. HR is pathetic.

Pros

The company offers decent compensation and benefits. The tuition reimbursement process is easy to use and the reimbursements are paid quickly.

Cons

There seems to be a lack of focus at times. Also, there are quite a lot of restructures and realignments. It's difficult to keep track of who is handling certain functions.
