Pros

Very good compensation and benefits with a very strong 401k program.

Cons

Some middle managers are not very good people managers and/or are technically qualified for their position. How they rise within the company maybe be more by their political connections than competence..

Pros

Value work life balance above anything else. One of the most talented and academically qualified set of employees under one roof. ZERO politics.

Cons

Flat structure forces you to review the growth strategies in the company. You have to always be on the look out for the projects to take so as to gain points for promotion.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is strong. The employees are generally of a high quality. The benefits are relatively good. The daily work schedule is relatively flexible. The work-life balance is appealing.

Cons

The company has been shrinking in many ways. There is not much room for career growth. The technology throughout the company is weak. Many of the leaders/managers should clearly not be leaders/managers. Training is minimal.
