-Too much bureaucracy (At every step you face a brick wall) -Lowest salary in the east coast -Getting isolated in the rust belt (Western NY) might not be good for young people who have an eye on career growth -Very few avenues to grow your leadership skills -Too much focus on hiring and promoting women and African American candidates -Sudden shifts in direction and investment portfolio -Very few ideas and projects see the light of the day -Years and years of layoffs and salary stagnation has left the employees demotivated (Everyone wants to survive, not too many people want to grow) -No travel, customer engagement opportunities for researchers

Pros

Big company with solid benefits

Cons

Pay is not on par with competition and raises are very hard to get. If you don't get what you are looking for when hired you will likely never get it.
