Pros

Some interesting work, co-workers are good people.

Cons

Very bad management; negative career growth, even with extreme effort and results; this is more of a who you are friends with to get ahead type place rather than advancement and rewards via achievement and merit. This is just a God-awful place to blow out one's career to be honest. Those who can get out. People who are unqualified stay in positions they don't deserve.

Pros

International Travel Opportunities if desired, comprehensive options for health and dental benefits, 2-3 weeks vacation time depending on tenure, some opportunities for professional development, some locations are nice work environments

Cons

Quarterly layoffs, glass ceiling for women, terrible inter-company communication, inconsistent business practices, no investment in improving business systems/procedures/technology, chaotic and icky work environment, cliquish corporate culture. If you are valuable in your current position you will find it nearly impossible to be transferred or promoted, managers are given veto power over employees intercompany opportunities and exercise them liberally. Company managed purely based on stock price rather than organic growth and innovation. Salary ranges are low compared to industry and national averages - managers hide behind HR to keep from giving raises to bring wages up to average, much less competitive. Only chance for a raise is to transfer to another role, but again - very difficult. Annual "merit" increases are a joke and are no more than inflationary offset, have nothing to do with performance. Culture sets expectations that employees will be available 7 days a week, even when on PTO. Prepare to be harassed if you take a day off and don't check your work messages.
