Pros

Convenience. I live very close to downtown Columbus and only have a 3 mile commute. Also, I have worked at a very wide variety of IT jobs throughout my career, while maintaining benefits.

Cons

Constant state of reorg. I have had 6 management changes in 2 1/2 years (5 different managers, one person twice). My track record does not always transfer with me, so I have had to prove myself over and over. This has made it difficult to achieve promotions.

Pros

-For the most part, the people you work with are good people. Made real lifelong friends and mentors. -As with all large companies, there are plenty of opportunities to advance and/or move around if something isn't a good fit. -One of the rare places still offering a pention

Cons

-Office politics promote plenty of people who don't deserve it and the teams happiness is highly dependent upon who you end up reporting to -WAY too much false urgency created by bad leaders -Big company means slow moving in all the stuff you want to go fast. Often times too many cooks in the kitchen
