Pros

The pay was great. Loved having a flexible schedule.

Cons

Management was very unprofessional. Your perform is based so something called tbass. You have to get excellents or you are doom. If you get a very good or good that does not mean anything you still by their standards are not doing any good.

Pros

great work/life balance, people very much respect that you have a life outside of work, large company that one would think would allow for lots of movement within the company

Cons

mangagement is quite passive aggressive and takes too long to make a decision. Some groups are better than others at promoting their employees. With employees moving around every 2 years, it can be difficult to establish any real knowledge or team cohesiveness.

Pros

Great people to work with. Great environment

Cons

Pay is on par with the industry. Managers do not encourage you to go the "extra mile" and compensation confirms this.
