Pros

Some Business travel opportunities available

Cons

Bureaucratic company Extremely poor middle management Work Life Balance is definitely something some managers pay lip service to but don't actually encourage Vacation policies are archaic Extremely hierarchical company--you don't get to have an opinion until you're high on the org chart Ranking system does not motivate collaboration or hard work New campus is not "Google-like"--they nickel & dime you for everything! No bonuses No internal job postings--a committee decides on your next move for you

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
