Pros

For men, worklife balance is good and there is room to advance. The cafeteria set-up is nice, and the occasional snack carts were nice. I learned a lot, but only because I busted my bum. If you are a guy, it is not a bad place to work.

Cons

For women, you will work longer hours, be overlooked for promotions and generally treated like a second class citizen. This has gone on for years, and HR and senior management know it. Strange that the company is majority owned by a woman, and yet this is the worse gender discrimination I have ever seen in my career. The ratio of men salaries and titles to women is shocking, never mind the perks of long lunches and less hours that men have. Truly amazing that this goes on in this day in age.
