Pros

A very stable company with diversified markets. The CEO is highly admired, especially because he established a great company culture. Smart colleagues and good work-life balance.

Cons

Somewhat strict spending policy (for example, no business cards issued unless you have a customer-facing role). Very little opportunity for long-term career advancement.

Pros

Good location, nice campus and office facilities, free cookies on Fridays and Breakfast on Wednesday, Summer family outing. Benefits and 401k profit share are good Good work-life balance A pleasure to work with nice and very smart colleagues

Cons

1. Beware the annual review process. The best way to describe it is draconian and demoralizing. 2. No opportunity to grow or advance. Careers die here. 3. You get 3 work at home days so choose carefully! They are intended to be used for staying home with a sick child, bad weather (hurricane/snow), waiting for a repairman, etc... 4. Weak and uninspiring management. Lots of cronyism.
