Pros

Peers were nice and knowledgable, and the technologies were good.

Cons

Way too much stress and politics. BD could be thinned-out so nicely and run like a well-oiled machine, but it's a gold old boy network of lifers and their friends.

Pros

Excellent benefits (medical, dental, vision, STD, LTD, 401k matching, 1x life and AD&D, unlimited sick days, 15 days PTO, Christmas shutdown, pension) opportunities to move laterally within company, good work/life balance

Cons

More managers than actual people reporting to those managers. Some non performing associates/ managers were not properly disciplined or let go even after negative performance reviews. Methodologies/reorganization of departments every 2-3 years was fairly normal
