Pros

Many nice people and amenities on the Cary campus. Cadillac health insurance including on-site clinic.

Cons

Low relative salaries and little chance for career growth. Very political. Brown-nosers do get ahead. Management is dysfunctional and untrained, abetted by HR. IT seen as a cost center to cut.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
