Pros

Very competative pay. The company is known for creating very good and skilled engineers. Wonderful location in downtown Chicago.

Cons

Extremely poor working environment, no home-life balance. The company uses Lotus notes and Novell. The company has a lot of very new engineers with little to no life experience. Very few middle aged engineers and a significant quanitity of old engineers. It is obvious that many engineers get their four or five years of experience and can't wait to jump ship becuase the environment is so caustic.

Pros

Decent pay and interesting projects that allow for good professional development.

Cons

Absolutely horrendous work-life balance. I have been at the company for almost 20 years and their lack of support and flexibility for parents is incredibly disappointing. Going to the office requirements are unrealistic with little kids, and some of the newly minted managers are on a power trip, micromanaging high performers and quoting pto policies if you need to run 30min errands midday.
