      It's a great job if you are content with a 9-5 job that requires no original thought.

      Pros

      Job security. Company loyalty. Good benefits (just not when it comes to PTO and vacation and work hours)

      Cons

      Management is in place due to seniority and not skill. Managers do not know how to manage people. Poor communication. Everybody is NOT working on the 'same page'. Innovation is shunned. Looking for new solutions is not the norm. Not a typical American company. It's HQ'd in the UK, which may have some impact. To southern and everybody is conservative in ALL RESPECTS.

      Great place to start, but not to stay

      Pros

      There is constant change, so you get a lot of experience quickly. The pace is extreme, so if you can survive there you will thrive anywhere else. The people are passionate about the work and there is good opportunity for growth in most of the departments. The benefits are way above average. In less than three years you will have gained a massive amount for your resume. Well worth the time investment.

      Cons

      The constant change and extreme pace will wear you down quickly. Work/life balance is not generally encouraged and a 40 hour week is unheard of. The changes mean that you really might put weeks into an 'urgent' project that is then abandoned and replaced by another 'urgent' project.
