Pros

Only work here IF: (1) You can't find a job anywhere else. (2) You're straight out of college and every other employer requires experience. (3) You LIKE micro-management. (4) You're not liberal. (5) You're white.

Cons

(1) "Big Brother". Tracking of location (even going to the bathroom!); monitoring of websites, emails, and phone calls; etc. (2) Lack of respect. Unless you're management (and don't get me started there!), your opinion means absolutely nothing. Even when you're told it does. And if you work in a department that doesn't directly bill clients, you definitely don't matter. (3) Lack of praise. Receiving awards is entirely political, and people in the "lesser" departments don't get awards often. (4) Lack of pay. For someone straight out of college - sure, it's okay. But you're never compensated for experience. NEVER. (5) Bad training. The software education department means well, but... (6) You're expected to eat in the company-provided cafeteria - going out for lunch more than once every couple of months is frowned upon.

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.
