Pros

- The senior leadership team has been in places for several years, creating credibility with shareholders and the marketplace - Generally speaking, the workforce is passionate and easygoing - There's a significant number of opportunities across the company, making it possible to move around both geographically and functionally

Cons

- Executive compensation creates a real difference between top execs and the rest of the workforce, resulting in a hierarchical culture - The company is very consensus driven, which causesdecisions to happen slowly. If you operate in the lower levels, you may feel that you are handcuffed by the people above needing to "weigh-in" on everything - The company doesn't foster a strong internal culture - creating so-so morale. Some groups do a better job than others, but on the whole, you don't feel connected to your co-workers outside of your immediate work group.

Pros

-Good culture -Decent pay -Most employees are hard working and good to work with

Cons

-Company is very inconsistent with what money is spent on. On one hand, let's endlessly cost cut and prevent hiring, but on the other hand, let's spend a lot on an internal conference, needlessly fly people all around the country for meetings, and pay our CEO $45 million a year. -Boring industry -Lots of silos and politics -Benefits are poor for such a large company

Pros

Great mobility within the company, great benefits, management is understanding w/personal issues such as illness, etc. Management does show respect to teams.

Cons

Lack of training for very,complex applications. The lack of training has forced many people from my team to leave. There are 2 groups the group that has the proper knowledge and then the second group who is newer did not receive simliar training to the older group. The group that has the knowlege seems to resent the new group who is trying to learn. That dynamic is seen throughout the team.
