Pros

great benefits, very flexible for people who have families, very affordable insurance, very laid back atmosphere, money can be good

Cons

fake, disorganized, no communication between business units, oftentimes very incompetent people in senior-level positions, unbelievable this is a billion dollar company and there are a million systems in place and none of which speak to one another

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
