Pros

Starting salaries are competitive + a sign-on bonus. They pay for your bus ticket or parking.

Cons

No leadership. Some incompetent people with personal agendas lead the company. Tone at the top seems to be don't ask, don't tell. There are a lot of reductions in force as a knee jerk reaction to the financial situation of the Company only to go on a hiring spree soon after. A while later, the cycle repeats. Salary increases are not the norm. Many complained of not getting salary increases for years. Too many "Egos" at the top. High turn-over.

Pros

Some great and friendly people work at Key. If you are in good graces with the upper tier management all will be good and smooth sailing

Cons

Extremely cliquish leadership...the only way to grow in this company is to kiss some serious a$$ and step on others on the way up the ladder. It can be the classic management style of "what have you done for me today?" or take credit for what others have done and then when they screw up punish the subservient. People are constantly looking over their shoulders as the powers that be continue to RIF and hire at a crazy pace. It's the ol' jerk the dog on a chain routine, so the "loyalty" is for sure a mirage.
