Pros

Healthcare, parking, good people - although less and less every day. Good work life balance paid for by terrible salary.

Cons

In pre-sales / sales consulting the management is going out of its way to ensure you are miserable, underpaid and are teaching the off-shore teams how to do your job. This isn't even in the 'digital' business but in the 'field' business too. There are no annual pay increases to offset inflation. You are unlikely to get a pay rise in the first 5 years with the company. The only way to get a pay rise is to bring an offer from the competitor, at which point you might as well just go. There is no career progress. Everything told to you during the interview process is a lie.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
