Pros

- Good benefits - Continued learning encouraged and supported - Competitive pay - 401 K - Career planning - Company is well structured - Lots of company resources

Cons

- Unexpected layoffs were common , but this is expected in any corporate environment. - In my role as a software engineer, there was a lot of collaboration with off shore teams. The con for me was having to meet with off shore teammates during outside of general work hours.
