      Pros

      Great benefits - 5 weeks PTO. Good work/life balance - not expected to work ridiculously long work weeks

      Cons

      In-position promotions are almost impossible to get. In order to get a raise or promotion you need to switch jobs.

      Pros

      Nice fitness center and cafeteria, nice campus overall.

      Cons

      Extreme favoritism, if you're in not in the 'clique', you're out.

      Negatives not worth the positives.

      Pros

      Just for a paycheck. The campus is nice, the gym is nice for 20 bucks a month. The cafeteria is decent. Teh benefits are pretty good. They pay for school, and full benefits. Time off is pretty good from the start. They just started a hoteling program where people work from home 3 days a week and reserve a temporary cube while they are in the office.

      Cons

      The people are negative, always compaining and pointing fingers. Thats not my job is said too often. The management is sneaky about layoffs, they manage on personal feelings and vendettas. Time management does not exist since everyone has back to back meetings. There is no room for advancement. They claim to promote from within but they are always bringing in outsiders. People are unhappy but in this economy there is nowhere else to go. I was very surprised at how much complaining and backstabbing went on. It was like high school all over again.
