Pros
Fun parties. Lagoon day, October concert, and fun stuff at the office. Mostly nice people, even the ones who are completely demoralized. If you end up in the right group, you will have the opportunity to go far.
Cons
By far the most elitist, fearful place I've worked. There are a lot of incompetent bullies in management, and they become more common the farther up the food chain you go. Nepotism runs rampant. Really, the best way to get ahead is to be 'connected' to someone in upper management. Being an LDS male is also helpful. No flexibility or work life balance in my group, but that isn't the case in all groups. Not only is there no training budget, it takes a solid month to get access to software and documentation they have on hand, and then you're expected to instantly become an expert in the things they actively prevented you from training on. Folks on the business side like to give hilarously incomplete business requirements, refuse to answer followup questions and then become very irate if you can't instantly read their minds and give them what they want in some unrealistic deadline. They know they can get away with this due to the distain for technical folks that goes all the way to the top. Report developers routinely get into trouble if the data says something they executives don't want to hear. If you land in the right group, middle managers will protect you from most of the nonsense. If not, you'll find yourself being blamed for everything, working an insane number of hours, doing a piddly amount of work in the most idiotically time consuming way possible. If you complain about the fact that you're being set up for failure or worked to death for no good reason, the response will range from a pat on the head to 'tough shyt' to being written up for 'being negative'. Many people go to great lengths to not take ownership of anything. There's no reason to do so. Success is rarely rewarded and failure is always punished. Known problems aren't addressed and manual processes aren't automated because everyone is too scared to rock the boat. The company also likes to over hire and then go on a firing spree. Usually they wait until after the holidays to fire people, but this past year, they got rid of a bunch of people around Thanksgiving and many didn't get any severance pay.
