Pros

25 PTOs Average, but not bad pay Beautiful facility, including gym, cafeterias, on-site nurse station, walk/run path throughout campus Wireless access throughout the facility Great people Encourages internal transfers - quicker ways to get promoted if you find the right opportunity

Cons

Very political Slow promotion - I was doing the job of higher level for about two years before I got promoted Small raises (especially compared to exec. bonus..) Your work/life balance would depend on the dept you work for

Pros

There are great benefits and it is a great place to work for someone who is ambitious and is willing to play the corporate politics game.

Cons

The rating system for performance reviews is discouraging and unmotivating. Only a few get the proper recognition and the current performance system makes the majority fall into an average performer category while some are forced into the less than average performance category. It is a bell curve and there is a lot of pressure on management to rate this way.
