Pros

Good pay, mediocre health care, pension and 401k plan.

Cons

Managers seemed to be selected by who they know, not what. Inappropriate manager to subordinate relationships seem to be tolerated. I have seen people terminated for certain infractions immediately, but If you are in the know you can get away with those same infractions. Its a giant game of CYA , senior managment is told all is good, while middle managment rules the general employee base with threats of layoff or termination . The old be glad you have a job scheme which seems to work for them.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
