Pros

the pay is decent, although not the best in the industry; you can build up decent paid time off after about five years of employment (when you get to use your PTO is a different story), but starting out, the PTO is average to slightly less than the rest of the industry

Cons

No real development of employees (they give lip service to it); constant reorganizations; clueless middle management that doesn't really seem to be empowered. It is a very top down organization and it hard to tell who makes the final decisions (the managers certainly don't own them)

Pros

If you live in the hartford area your commute will not be too bad. It is a job and any job in a bad economy is better than no YOB.

Cons

One of the most political places I have ever worked. Many cases of technically incompetent people managing technology groups. This place is the antithesis of a meritocracy.

Big Company, Lot of information sharing and lot of infrastructure for employees to share and learn.

Benefits are not great and not up-to industry standards. Salary not commensurate with experience
