Pros

Decent pay for now and good medical plans. Pension currently exists but not for long. Smart people do work here but have no reason to work together.

Cons

Everything here is a joke. Slow bureaucracy. Pay is stagnant which means dropping. Forced ranking system has everyone looking out for themselves. Rotating managers don't care about employee development or happiness. Managers will be gone so fast it serves no benefit to them to develop their group. Nepotism dictates hiring and promotion. I am embarrassed by the complete lack of ethics. It would not surprise to me to find data being forged. Rumor is the pension will disappear soon.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
