Pros

Great company culture with an ethical focus. Able to maintain a good work-life balance and move up the company if you desire.

Cons

Extremely technical work environment which can be a negative if you're not technically inclined. Great starting salary but low bonuses. Two rounds of layoffs in the past four years.

Pros

Advancement potential, interesting work, good pay, growing company, solid track record through many economic conditions.

Cons

very little work life balance. one of the few remaining "good old boys" divisions out there. Not uncommon to have all male meetings where senior managers use frequent poor language and discuss important business decisions as though they were still adolescents. Big con- if you want to advance all roads lead to Syracuse NY, not a great place to live.
