Pros

pay is adequate, benefits are good, one of the few companies to still offer a defined benefit pension (although that could change with planned separation into 2 companies)

Cons

This is the most top-heavy, bureaucratic organization I have ever worked for. Management has no trust in their employees. If you aren't a vice president, you will not be making any decisions. It is impossible to get anything done.

Pros

Grace is a great place to work. The culture is very open, people are nice and there is a lot of cross-function projects, where you can broaden your scope and learn how to work with teams. There are events for employees to gather and interact. Besides that, it has extensive parking, a subsidized cafeteria with great food, a well equipped gym and it's very close to the red line.

Cons

The company does not sponsor international candidates.
