Pros

Steady paycheck, stable company. Yearly pay increases and bonuses. Used to be more employee recognition but they have since cut out a fair amount of the perks.

Cons

Extremely archaic culture, micromanagement through project apps, change control, vendor relations, nothing gets done in the way of technology advancement.

Pros

excellent 401K and bennies, including fairly generous time off policy (PTO) onsite cafeteria and garaged parking friendly work mates tiny onsite gym

Cons

Management treats all employees as workaholics, expecting loads of overtime (not compensated), and very time reduced, stressful schedules. There is no documentation, so given a task with little to no details, and must run with it. Salary is well below industry average. Must hit the job running, or be terminated. There is NO working from home, period.
