Pros

Some of the brightest, most intelligent people I have ever met work here. The work is plentiful and the challenges keep coming. their mission statement is one of the best I've seen/heard, and the company truly lives up to it's theme of "Building a World of Difference." Employees know they are making a positive impact and and work hard to use their skills and talents for "good." Excellent benefits package.

Cons

There are not enough hours in the day to get the workload done. Praise is minimal and infrequent, and often way overshadowed by criticism and pressure to do more with fewer people.

Pros

Good opportunities for advancement Great pay Competitive benefits package Good company name recognition (could be beneficial if you choose to pursue a position with another company)

Cons

Management frequently out of touch with true level of effort required to complete projects. Work/life balance "preached" but not "practiced" by a significant number of employees resulting ultimately in young emloyees burning themselves out and seeking lower-stress opportunities elsewhere.
