Pros

No good reason to work for this company. It looks good from outside, but it is horrible once you get in

Cons

Management changes every day, Directors and above make 150k to millions as as bonus. working guys get peanuts.No career development..if you are technical and you started earning little bigger, they try to remove you by pissing you like demoting, making you to report to your junior, rating you bad in review, by stopping pay raise etc. No moral, no ethic..

Pros

Company cares about you and your family. Great benefits, probably the best in class, also a company that isn't afriad to say they are and want to continue to be the best.

Cons

Further away from HQ's you might get lost at times as promotions seem to miss some sites.
