Pros

The only large corporation in the Springfield area. Great time off and good benefits. Beautiful building and flexibility to work from home for most jobs.

Cons

HR practices support frequent job eliminations which created an environment of uncertainty. A lot of focus on process improvement but it feels like lip service rather than a real commitment to making processes better. Too many managers who have been at the company for too long who are not really going to change. Don't join the company if you can't go along with the crowd.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
