Pros

I always had excellent managers. The workplace environment is professional and accepting. They value internal hires/promotions over external hires. Bonuses can be quite good. Flex time and PTO balances were really flexible and excellent benefits.

Cons

Twice yearly layoffs without any prior notifications making it feel like scare tactics. Frequent company reorganization makes the landscape shift too much. Lots of inter-office politics. Internal hires are severely underpaid, the company refuses to ever give more than an 8% raise regardless of job change. By the time I left I got a job for the mid range salary of my position at Aetna, which was 40% higher than what I was getting at Aetna. Health insurance was actually not that great.
