Pros

-Great pay and benefits overall. -College tuition benefits. -Outside training benefits. -Health care benefits appeared to be above average. -Retirement benefits were above average.

Cons

-Mid to upper management is the worst that I have been exposed to in any sector and anywhere. -Toxic work environment overall - mostly due to a lack of top-down leadership. -Unprofessional managers at the upper-mid levels. -Pidgin holing is commonplace. -Work life balance is non-existent. You are considered to be working 24/7/365. -Disjointed communications between managers and groups leading to constant conflict and animosity. -Mandatory "bottom 10%" employee rating system - regardless of how long employee had been aboard or size of group. -Very poor CISO - somewhat technically proficient but a poor leader.
