Pros

Good people, good learning opportunities and laid back environment. Good starting company, Long term don't recommend.

Cons

Benefits/Vacation time. You get 3 weeks vacation (120hrs) time after 5 years, But at 10 years service they let you use your sick time (40 hrs) as vacation. Gee, thanks. At 20 years you do get 4 weeks (160hrs) but how many work at the same company for 20 years. Very small raises. Unless you come in at a good salary you could always be making lower wages. Healthcare benefits are horrible to the point I bought out of the company system.

Pros

Good people to work with. Excellent technology and diverse environments

Cons

Even their Senior Management has said that they are only interested in results. That they do not care about the employees at all and that there is always someone else to do the job so why should they care or provide a descent salary or benefits..
