Pros

The health benefits are good.

Cons

The managers in our department all need to work on people management skills. A large fraction of our job is spent covering you’re a@# and blaming other departments for what goes wrong. We are micromanaged, expected to come in exactly on time and work more than eight hours a day. They have a high turnover of people. They promise tuition reimbursement that does not exist. Had I know all this before coming to work for this company, I would have stayed where I was before.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
