Pros

The medical products that they offer are definitely great. They have a competitive benefit package for their employees at fairly reasonable cost. The time off policy is good compared to most other companies.

Cons

Work life balance is horrible, there is an expectation to do a lot more with less. The bureaucracy of getting things done is overwhelming. No one communicates with the people that actually does the job and the disconnect between corporate and middle managers is horrible.

Opportunities for growth limited by politics. Too risk averse for their own good. Some processes are way too bureaucratic.
