Pros

Benefits- 401k, health care, PTO, paid Holiday time, Work/Life Balance Large company culture gives you an opportunity to make friends. Find people in your age group, with similar interests, etc.

Cons

There is a lot of competition for work with your peers. If you want to get the good assignments/programs that will allow you to grow in your career, then you need to fight for them. Your experience can vary greatly simply by what department you are working for, who you have as a manager, and the time you get hired on. For instance, if you get hired during a busy season and have a great manager who is looking out for you, then you may do well. But if you get hired during a slow season, and your manager doesn't have time to bother with you, then you may get the short end of the stick regarding projects. This also depends on your own personality. If you are highly competitive then you will probably prosper, but if you are more laid back or shy & introverted then you may struggle. This company has a lot of politics. And it feels as though higher management makes decisions without any regards as to how they affect those below them. Out of everything, I'd say poor management was the #1 reason I left the company.

Pros

Mostly great co-workers, management not entirely clueless, some cool projects, popcorn

Cons

A lot like high school, if you are not in a clique, be prepared for whisper campaigns and blame games. Not a bad place to start, but don't stay more than five years. If you want to be a lifer, find a champion and mentor and actively sell yourself. Don't expect career honesty from management.

Pros

Honestly the middle management is terrible. I worked here for 5 years only because my wife was in school. Pros? I can't thank if any

Cons

Middle management is terrible, they steal your ideas, they blame you for failures even though they told you what to do. Work load is stressful, never thanked or appreciated. I consistently worked 50+ hours a week and Was told I wasn't doing enough.
