Pros

It's a decent start for a recent college grad to get a little work experience. If you DO actually get in, you know you are either really good at taking tests or you are really smart. The 100% match to your 401(k) contribution is a treat. No outsourcing, so no need to worry about your job being sent overseas.

Cons

Employee morale is VERY low. There are these types of people working there: * those actively looking for other employment, * those who would jump on another opportunity if it was presented to them, * and those that do not know any better (or do not care). Pay is generally below average for the type of work performed. Generally, the only way to advance is to score a certain amount on a section of a pre-employment test. Employees do not know how they score. If you're a technical person, don't be fooled by the "...positions developing cutting edge software systems and applications" statement in their job ads. There is nothing at all "cutting edge" about them. Your voice will probably not be heard. Senior management's word is scripture. If you question it or do not say "yes," be prepared look for another job. There is a basic feeling that your work and employment should be more important than your personal life.

Pros

Free lunch, the other technical writers are nice to work with. Company benefits have improved in recent years.

Cons

Incompetent DOC Management will drive even the nicest writers away from the company. If you work as a technical writer, you will be underpaid, overworked, and micromanaged. The people in the DOC department are treated differently from others in the company solely because of DOC management rules. For example, supervisors will go through your desk and drawers each week as part of cube inspections, and there are strict rules about what you can and can't have in or on your desks. Because other departments do not do this, the DOC department looks much more sad and gray than the rest of the company. Your badge tracks you at all times throughout the building. If you go to an area of the building that you don't work in, there are good odds management will ask you about that. Management does not care about the tech writers. It's turned even the nicest and most positive people negative towards the department. There are nearly zero writers who have been there longer than 1 year that are positive towards the department. Turnover in the department is crazy. Someone leaves on average every 2 months, so nearly the entire department is different in just 2 or 3 years. Even though the cafeteria is free, the food can be hit or miss.
