      Started out great, but they'll suck the life out of you.

      Pros

      Fairly flexible work environment if you have the right team lead. Company values are terrific--if only they were truly embraced.

      Cons

      Work/responsibility is not shared equally between departments in the same tower. Failures in one area are allowed to drag down others.

      A generally good experience with co-workers and career development, but style wins too often over substance

      Pros

      Lots of smart people, ethics is a priority, a genuine atmosphere of respect between co-workers. Career development opportunities are there if you seek them out.

      Cons

      Senior management rotates frequently, making accountability difficult. A highly matrixed organization where "no" votes seem to count more than "yes" votes - this makes getting new initiatives off the ground very difficult.

      Pros

      Benefits - great health insurance, sick days Altruistic - lots of philanthropy, volunteering opportunities, and encouraged involvement with community

      Cons

      IT - not organized, overly complex, over 5 years behind in technology, it can take 6 weeks for a new employee to be set up in the critical systems and up to 6 months to get them into all the systems. Reactionary - prone to over-react to situations, no strategic planning Lip service to innovation - a 1st to follow or innovate by acquisition company because they won't put the money up for actual innovation
