Pros

Great Benefits Great Salary Decent work/life

Cons

In general, IT Management is terrible. Lots of bureaucracy, arbitrary deadlines, no vision, red tape everywhere. It's not worth the pay and benefits. Just a lot of questionable organizational decisions.

Pros

Benefits are okay, I can't think of anything else.

Cons

Very stressful environment, evaluations are not very objective. As far as promotions, it is not about what you know but rather who you know. The culture is not for everyone, the competitive nature of the evaluation system doesn't encourage collaboration.

Pros

Great pay and benefits Great people to work with (for the most part) Great campus Flexible work options Fun days and employee appreciation (varies by department though, my group hasn't done one in over a year)

Cons

Performance management is bloated and subjective. So much "corporate-speak" it's almost cult-like They talk about work-life balance like it matters, but they don't live up to it. The expectation is 24/7 availability.
