Pros

- Extremely slow place so never in a rush - Everyone is decently nice face to face. - Non-Technical teams have great benefits - Always hiring - Sometimes they put an effort in doing the right thing - InfoSec is overly paranoid - Heavy company culture, the Kool-Aid runs deep if you're looking for a family or a place to end your career.

Cons

- If you're in IS/IT pay is 15-25% less then other companies, way below market value - If you're an engineer, developer, anything techie benefits are the worst then any in the Valley, literally no point in even trying here. - Stock options are zero unless you have the word "Manager" or "Director" or "Vice" - Everyone is HEAVILY silo'd like enough where they openingly say it's your problem - InfoSec is overly paranoid, enough to get in the way of day-to-day work - Seriously a joke, no standards or backbone - Leadership changes every quarter - Scape goating the nearest contractor is funny and heavily depressing at the same time - Encourages to work more then living life - Diversity is a joke, literally 75% old white males - Using old, dated technology and application to save pennies - aka Tech Dept is deeper then the Great Depression
