Pros

Large company with a number of areas to advance your career. Good benefits including defined benefit pension. Good people to work with. Availability to interact with senior management on a regular basis.

Cons

Salary targets at lower end of spectrum for comparable jobs at other companies. Too many vice presidents at this company. Just doing what is needed to get by is rewarded far too much and going above and beyond not rewarded enough at this company.

Pros

Company is very pro-women advancement, and is extremely conscientious to be open to all cultural, gender, and other backgrounds without bias. The work is very interesting and they are open to discussion and suggestions

Cons

Some of the entry level positions are very numbers-driven and unrealistic on time demands. It can be very stressful to work here
