Pros

Good benefits package, non-management level employees are generally really good people. Salary is competitive with other similar positions. Willing to hire grads right out of college.

Cons

Management spends too much time "managing up." Bringing up concerns or new ideas is not only discouraged, but punished. Company is too big and it takes too much time for anything to change. All IT has been outsourced to India, so trying to get technology/computer issues fixed is frustrating and time consuming. WAY too much "process" to actually get anything done.
