Pros

You'll work with very intelligent people and you'll get very real overall expectations from a high level about how they expect each market segment to perform. Depending on the role you will get many perks - golf, lunches, various outings to "network".

Cons

Very little transparency about performance expectations. You'll be expected to just want to take over projects without being told about what they are or how to do it and then criticized for not having done so. People just disappear on the floor without really knowing if they quit or were fired. Its a very cut throat atmosphere. It was discussed one day out of 39 positions in the past year only 8 people remained 5 years later in that group. It is not stated but highly implied that employees should not take lunches and should work 10 hour days and often on weekends if needed. It is not uncommon for there to be 10-15 people still working on the floor at 7pm.

Pros

Not too much overtime Everyone on the team is supportive and helpful Pretty laid back, work items aren't shoved down your throat

Cons

Still using technology that is outdated (ie Windows 2000) No processes in place, nor any clear path for a big picture solution Only reason to work here is to collect a check, no real opportunity to learn.
