Pros

Great benefits package, competitive pay, sharp technical talent that is very motivated and dedicated, good software deployment processes and robust software products.

Cons

Hard-core sweat shop mindset, rude and arrogant middle and senior management that is purely in it for building their personal fiefdoms, outrageously long working hours for technologists, no repect for diversity and dissenting viewpoints, constant interciene warface amongst the various technology related departments, vicious "survival" no holds barred politics within teams, HR that is either overtly aggressive or merely a mouthpiece for senior management.

Pros

My compensation was great. There is alot of flexibility on the job. Work and life balance are sought after and respected.

Cons

The company is undergoing many changes that are causing massive layoffs. The company is downsizing due to problems in the mortgage industry. Also changes with the relationship with the federal govt will great effect the future of this company and due to all of these factors, not many people will have a future here.
