Pros

I hear they offer good severance packages if you've worked here long enough. The 401k match is nice if you stay long enough.

Cons

Sr. Management is only looking out for themselves. Health benefits are mostly employee funded now. Career growth is poor and it's not about what you do rather who you know.

Pros

You get paid above market and the bonus is good.

Cons

Many silos and tough to get departments to work together. Many processes are outsourced to India and the communications and results are hit or miss. The company is trying to change but it seems to be all about appearances and less about understanding why managers have high turnover.

Pros

Great corporate environment- Great opportunities to work abroad- Global work environment- You will work with and deal with people from all over the world. The company is huge and there are opportunities to move from one department to another Pay is competitive People are nice/friendly Cafeteria is great Gym facilities with classes are nice Beautiful building and property Great for outdoor running and relaxing @ lunch

Cons

Your time there largely depends on how well your department is managed. My department had zero work/home life balance. It was serious enough to bust up marriages and cause rapid turnover- Other departments with a work/home life balance were happier and had little to no turnover Its hard to move to different departments without it being top secret and you having an in with the area you are trying to move to. Everything is far away/long drive so your pretty much stuck on site in terms of lunch plans but you are still on a beautiful sprawling well maintained property. So as long as you can do with out fast food, you should be fine. Commute is horrendous
