Pros

1. The benefits are pretty good and better than most bigger companies. 2. Free bread every morning? lol 3. Stable job but not very exciting. 4. I believe in the company's vision. 5. Upper level management has solid goals and leadership.

Cons

1. You are expected to be at work after hours even when it is absolutely not necessary just for "face time". 2. Depending on what department you work for, it can be great or it can be hell. 3. Some employees can be quite aggressive in their attitude. 4. Most people aren't that helpful unless they are your "friends". It's like pulling teeth sometimes. 5. Turn over is pretty high for younger employees. The culture isn't a match to most millennials. 6. Parking can be lacking at times. 7. A lot of legacy workers that I feel don't do much but just milk the system until their retirement. Pulling a lot of dead weight. 8. A proper performance review system is quite lacking. Most big companies do vertical reviews as well as lateral reviews. 9. Work life balance isn't the greatest. I feel that if you take time off, you are judged for it.

Pros

no pros, can't think of one

Cons

No respect – your coworkers are late to meeting, no response to emails, speak loudly, interruption while you are talking on the phone. Executives/managers first. Only say yes and no say no. No humanity working in this company. No flexibility. 2 weeks of vacation pay each year but asking 2 weeks off is hard. You probably ending up take 1 week off only. The company has 401K plan but no matching at all from the company. Company is cheap, don’t expect your raise is high although you work long hours. They give you 200 dollars raise each year. Long working hours, no appreciation from the management or company. If you are a family oriented person then this is not a place for you because you will not have time for your family. 90% of the time your time will be in office. Poor communication and inefficient working style. No laptops only managers and up use laptops. If you are not managers, you better be prepared to work in the office day and nights. The company is cheap that they don't have winzip because they don't want to pay for it. THey make you use free download 7 days trial of winzip. This is a 2 billion dollar revenue company but yet what they use is not close to a high-tech at all. No winzip, computer systems are very out dated. No VPN, NO webex. 2 copies machines and using my 100 people in the whole building. Also this place is very political and it is not a good place to work at all.
