      Pros

      Pay is fine, if you don't mind the archaic culture. Vacation days are generous. If you are lucky enough to get a good manager, he might be able to help in career progression - it is the only way to climb the ladder.

      Cons

      Old corporate giant that does not care for Diversity. Also, it's literally impossible for bad employees to get fired, so there are MANY people who are overpaid to do work they are extremely under qualified for. Lastly, they are laying hundreds of people off and top management demonstrates that they do not care for the average employee. Just overall a large corporation that is seriously lacking in innovation and can dampen any young excited employee's spirit.

      Pros

      Easy going people. Very good management and team leads. They understand the people and dont rush you. Job duties are not that tuff and are shared among the team.

      Cons

      Laid back work culture. Old school technologies. Definetely not a good company for young and learning college school grads. This is kind of very laid back.
