Pros

Nice people to work with No hassle of going to NYC Good view of the city, Nice location Some good benefit package (health benefits) Stability and security in the workplace.

Cons

Cheap raises, favoritism, low salaries as compared to industry. Use of too much paper should be more electronic. Management styles are lacking Parking Commuting Lack of management support Salary is low, not much of raise and promotion Recognition is very low Lack of technical knowledge by the upper management Many people leave for better paying/motivating jobs. Starting to hire more outsource Promotion seems to be given to friends of management Have to play politics to get to anywhere, who speak louder are getting ahead and who works hard and keeping quiet are getting abused.

Pros

-When you are on vacation, YOU ARE ON VACATION. No emails, calls, etc. -Flex time is great if you have to come or leave, but this depends on your manager. Some are really meticulous when you come in and when you leave.

Cons

-No growth. Different scenarios depending on what department you are in. But overall, lots of people who worked in the company for 25-30 years, and they are NOT leaving. - Be prepared to feel like you are in 1980s. Most technologies are ancient due to a legacy of the company that is a monopoly in some products and services, so those areas did not see the need to change in decades. This legacy interferes with growth in those old areas, as well as hinders new acquired companies. -No outside perspective from senior management - for the reason mentioned above. - Politics, politics, politics... and silos that again hinder organic growth and distribution of competitive intelligence and insight. -Very bad compensation structure - they may pay you what you want in the beginning, but no bonuses or raises beyond an inflation point here.
