Pros

Good healthcare and retirement. If you are a bad employee this is the place for you. They will keep just about anyone around

Cons

They never fire bad employees, and their promotions are not that great I moved up 3 times while I worked there and still wasn't making much more than some of the slackers that had been there longer in lower positions.

Pros

Good pay, I had the freedom to do my job without much interference and with support when I needed it. Many good people work there.

Cons

Killer politics among Directors and Vice Presidents in Divisions and at Corporate. No job security We were told that management did not value our work and loyalty. Purges through early retirement that destroyed managerial follow through and organizational continuity.

Great benefits and job security.

Cons

Little to no career development. Poor reward/recognition system. Subpar salaries for scientists, most likely due to location.
