Pros

I really enjoy my colleagues--professional, very good at what they do and a pleasure to be around. I also appreciate that the company continued to pay bonuses and raises during the 2015 downturn.

Cons

Company 401(k) contribution does not go above 2.5% until you've been on staff 5+ years. We have a cultural tendency to unnecessarily complicate processes and analyses.

Pros

* salary and benefits are exceptional * get to work with a diverse group of colleagues * lots of volunteer / community service opportunities * flexible working schedules; good work/life balance

Cons

* far too many changes in the organization * little stability/security in position due to changes * can be inefficient due to large size and layers of bureaucracy * senior management seems artificial and distant at times * corporate propaganda is very strong and presented with euphemisms (i.e., slogans, campaigns, soundbites, "new ways of working", etc) * not easy to move up in the company unless you know someone
