Pros

best company i've ever worked for. they invest heavily in employees, and show it through compensation, benefits, trainings, and internal transfer encouragement. you come here to work for life. no more job hopping once you get here... astounding work/life balance. after working for companies for years that expect you to work until past dinnertime, this is a 9-5 culture. I'm the last person in the office at 5:15... lights out at 6!

Cons

some "lifers"... they have trouble "cutting the fat". over-cautious anti-alcohol policies cause some younger employees to defect to smaller, "hipper" startups that allow dogs, ping-pong, video games and drinking during the day, the whole "google" atmosphere. these are minor however and are the only drawbacks i can think of

Pros

Great co-workers and working environment. Good benefits. Great place to learn in a safe, encouraging environment. Great culture of giving back to the community and helping out. I loved my time here.

Cons

Very corporate structure -- a bit rigid when it comes to growth, or advancement. Work-life balance is being adjusted, and while it's not bad, there is definitely room for improvement. Management is mostly good -- could be improved in terms of giving managers more time to actually help the team and help individuals grow. Lots of adjustments happening on this team, but overall it's a great group to work with.
