Pros

This may be the safest company to work for on the planet. Safety is a serious issue with ATI, and is the number one core value. This is a company that wants you to leave in the same condition that you arrived. The 401k company match is well beyond most employers. Sick day policy is very modern and in touch with the current times. Flexible working hours are generally available, although not the official policy.

Cons

This is a "what have you done for me today?" IT culture. IT is viewed as overhead, not an asset. Raises are consistently below the cost of living. Bonus is average. No stock options for staff. No employee stock purchase program. The reward for working hard is more work. Additional responsibilities and the option to lead projects and learn new technology to add value to the business is rare. No formal way to obtain training. Health care seems to be high for what is covered. Vacation policy is not very current. No on-site gym or cafeteria. Standard beige office cubicle farm. Too many office politics. Excel seems to be the most valuable IT skill.

Pros

Interesting work with (some) hard workers. Serious place to get real experience. Salaried employees receive a large 401k match.

Cons

Place is held together by critical staff working much harder than others, but don't expect many raises. Annual adjustments do not match inflation. Managers do not understand technical skills that set their staff apart and struggle to argue for raises when asked, losing this talent within a few years. Experience always outranks expertise (helps to be old). HR/Operations collaborate to underpay their hourly staff, keeping process changes that affect incentive pay out of union negotiations for as long as possible. HR can barely run Salaried payroll and will threaten you if you question their math (even when they owe you money). HR refuses to address racism/white supremacy within their hourly workforce.
