Pros

Fairly good work environment as far as equipment, desk etc in some parts of the company. Other parts of the company forget it. Semi ok health benefits.

Cons

Yearly evaluation process (EPMP) is a complete waste of employees time. Day to day employees have to fill out evaluations at end of year, which is supposed to be used for raises etc. Unknown to most employees is that raises and ranking in the system, were already determined months before the reviews are filled out by employees. Nothing the employees fill in is used for increases. Most upper management seems to be out of touch. Average employees will never get promoted based on merit or ability, almost all promotions are done based on the buddy system, which has lead to many people being in positions they are not really qualified to be in.
