Pros

The people who work there are really great to work with. They are all smart and generally want to work hard and are conscientious

Cons

The bureaucracy is over the top (for a private sector company) and it is very hierarchical. It's never easy to get anything done and industry best practices never work there because all the processes are heavy.

Pros

Good benefit. Generous 401k plan. Salary is about industry average.

Cons

Wrok/Life balance is poor in some groups. Some directors send you emails on Friday afternoon asking for some deliverables on Monday morning, which means your weekend is gone. They take this for granted and so do that over and over again. Terribly old technology. The company was still using WinXP in 2015. Some VPs and directors never knew how to respect people. Bureaucratic environment. Poor IT support. On-board process was extremely inefficient and painful. It can take you 2-3 weeks to just have SAS worked. No one would want to help you because they do not want to experience the torture again.
