Pros

-Great retirement benefits -laid back environment ( my business unit no longer has a dress code ) -great set up ( 2x 24" monitors for everyone ) -other benefits are really great (maternity/paternity leave was increased, tuition reimbursement, college loan help)

Cons

-pay, team quality, manager quality, and the projects you work on differ enormously between business units and groups within those units -too many managers with little to no technical experience making technical decisions (my boss still thinks git and github are the same thing) -managers seem to make decisions that please everyone vs making the right decision -hiring process was terrible, my technical interview consisted of the following questions: 1) is javascript a subset of java? 2) how would you write an SQL query. 3) what is a class? * this sounds awesome until you realize how dumb you could be and still get hired if this is all the knowledge you need

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
