Pros

GTO campus is nice, decent work / life balance

Cons

Management does NOT listen to it's engineers. Quite a few LARGE infrastructure decisions have been made by some top level executive that had lunch with someone at a large vendor. This isn't speculation, it is FACT. What is interesting here, is that Met employees have to go through ETHICS training every year. I don't think these executives do. Management will NOT fire dead weight. If you want to come work in a place and do nothing, and not worry about your job, this is your place.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
