Pros

Lots of opportunities for professional development paid for by the company (depending on your manager). Lots of long-term employees. Ability to work independently without being micromanaged. Fully stocked kitchen w/ snacks, occasional catered lunch.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement seemed to only be for the guys who fit with the guys in charge. If you're not Irish, I don't think they really care about you. Lots of arrogant people in charge. No diversity whatsoever and I think they prefer it that way. People way too uptight. Poor communication from the top down. Senior managers don't always make themselves available to the little guys. Boring and predictable work environment (forced monthly birthday celebrations and such.)

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.
