Pros

Depending on the leader and team you get things can be fun

Cons

Metrics heavy, micro managing, hard to promote no matter how amazing you are, its more about who favors you. A lot of lies and deceit from the company itself. My department was not going to exist anymore and they knew that but continued to hire mass amounts of people anyways to the position, had us go through a year of training just to help them get through all the backed up work load so they can finally get rid of my department. It was the plan all along but why do that? Oh yes to benefit those making the most money from this company and not those who are keeping this company up and running, sounds about right capitalism and greed.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
