Pros

Flexible work schedule, benefits package (one of the few places still offering a pension plan), competitive salary. Onsite fitness centers in many buildings, some of which are better than others. Many employee discounts available.

Cons

The product support engineering (technical writing) department is stagnant and disharmonious. Very little attention is given to what is best for employees. In fact, very little attention is given to anything beyond what the next set of metrics numbers look like. There is very little advanced planning nor attempt to make the department efficient. This leads to a boom or bust workflow wherein one team works extra hours while other teams languish in boredom. Very little opportunity for advancement within the department. Annual review system is severely broken.

Pros

Good benefits (dental, medical, vision & 401(k)) and decent compensation when you start. One of few companies that still has a pension plan. Most employees are on a 9/80 schedule with off-Fridays.

Cons

Low annual raises. Sick time & vacation time are combined leading to employees coming into work sick in order to avoid taking vacation time. Lack of flexibility with work schedule. Senior management is disconnected from needs of employees. Lack of diversity in senior management.

Pros

Consistently busy, OT, hours, benefits

Cons

Pay is low for the amount of work, too much gossip and old lady drama, many personalities clash, constant arguments. Favoritism seems to be the way to get promoted and being a good looking female.
