Pros

Had a great group of people that I worked with - hardworking and good personalities. It was a challenging position and at times had to work long hours, but the team I worked with fantastic making it worth it.

Cons

Difficult for growth - very strict adhering to HR guidelines as to who qualifies to be in what level (ex. someone short 6 months of experience had to wait 6 months to get promoted even though they were already doing the work of the higher level). Also had to adhere to the 'bell curve' for year end ratings/increases. Salary and compensation package were fair.

Pros

Good company to work for, to a point. Challenging work and training has been good.

Cons

This is a tough one, but what I have noticed when it comes to lay offs is that favoritism plays a big role in who gets laid off and who doesn't. I noticed in one instance that someone completed all work assigned to them and never complained when asked to stand in for managers or attend meetings. But, there is that one guy that does absolutely nothing 95% of the time and works on their home on company hours, but he is the one that doesn't get laid off, while the guy that tries hard and never turns down nothing gets the ax. I guess this is what happens when he is good friends with the lead.

Pros

Flexible schedule, great co-workers, promote work-life balance and corporate discounts for cell phone service etc.

Cons

No compensation for promotion, managers encourage employees to accept lateral promotions. Good old boys network that was hard to navigate through -- dependent on whether you had a good manager or not.
