Pros

There is a good work/life balance at the company,

Cons

The company is bureaucratic. Decisions are made slowly and require the approval of several layers of management. For instance, requests for vacation in the department I worked in could not be approved by managers, but needed to be approved by the overall department manager.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are good

Cons

Employees are only a number. Employees cannot be promoted. Promotions can only be gained if there is an opening you can apply for.
