Pros

easy commute. There were some nice people who work there. Nobody works all that hard so the work life balance is good.

Cons

Fear based culture. Nobody follows processes so there is a lot of duplicate work going on. People are treated with little or no respect and the salary and benefits aren't very good. My experience of going through the interview process and actually working there was vastly different. I was told things about bonuses, benefits, advancement opportunities that didn't exist in reality (particularly for women over 40). The place was a huge disappointment.

Pros

Campus is within walking distance of 65% of its employees. Generous benefits / Healthcare coverage / HSA / Pension plan Annual Incentive Bonus plan

Cons

Pension plan creates an atmosphere of in-place retirement and long timers generally dont treat newcomers favorably. An incredibly risk-averse environment and the right decision is always the hardest way possible if you ask someone in management a question of any kind at all. Leadership among the management is nearly nonexistent and communication skills are severely lacking. Annual performance reviews are based on calendar year, but your actual rating and bonus will be most heavily determined by the new calendar year first quarter as the reviews and bonuses are not awarded until April. In effect employees are held hostage in Q1 and many people leave the company in April / May each year. Most people last 3 years of this.
