Pros

The compensation along with 401K and Pension plans are reasonable especially when you consider that a lot of pension plans are being scrapped.

Cons

The company nickels and dimes it's employees to death. As an example, the company removed filtered water to save $500 per year per building. The health plans have driven costs up for employees with families. The bonus have been trimmed by 20%. This is the first year that most employees livage wage has actually gone down.

Pros

Fast paced and cutting edge technology. Good pay and generally good people to work with.

Cons

Duplication of efforts. Too many segmented groups. It is hard to get anything accomplished with so many different groups. It seems like everyone is always running around with their heads cut off.
