Pros

You can be given opportunities quickly if you're in the right place at the right time, and if your reputation is strong. Great ability to move around across the organization once you prove yourself. Great thing is that although roles are very narrow you do have the change to try new things and move around over time. However, be careful of getting stuck - people need to know who you are, and relationships (like everywhere) are critical. People ,ake up their mind quickly about you, and word travels fast.

Cons

Absolutely need a champion - if you or your group get caught up in the politics you're toast.

Pros

The Columbus location is conveniently located and aesthetically pleasing. All coworkers are generally nice and are willing individuals. The dining area has reasonably priced and tasty food.

Cons

Incompetent coworkers and managers. Lack of proper training. It's really sad when you start working somewhere and you realized that your mangers are totally clueless. They really need to invest in managers who know their stuff.

Pros

There are many talented people there, and lots of opportunities to do some interesting work.

Cons

Unfortunately, the work is hampered by lots of bureaucracy. Often times, corporate politics, rather than results, determine who gets ahead. The infrastructure is antiquated. Too little attention is paid to strenthening the long term health of the company. Every project is reviewed for quick pay back without thought to investing in long term growth. Recent layoffs contributed to severe morale issues; just waiting for the other shoe to drop in 2009.
