Pros

Career growth, PTO, lots of engagement and fun. Huge on diversity and community outreach programs. I also utilized the tuition reimbursement.

Cons

They have an insane rating system that affects every aspect of your career. It’s the only company I know that no matter how well you do your job, if the external customer doesn’t audibly voice their pleasure, you get rated as a neutral or worse a detractor. No matter how wonderful you did, if the customer isn’t clear with their approval, it will count against you. Even in positions with no customer involvement, you’re rated as a neutral. It’s that way across the board. Also it’s extremely political. 90% of all internal interviews are just formalities. They know who they want ahead of time. Actively seek out feedback. Otherwise, you’ll never grow with the company.

Pros

I have some good memories of working with capable team members and peers.

Cons

Disrespectful revengeful managers, You get promoted if you are a yesman and always agree to your manager no matter what. And bad managers cannot handle difference in opinions. They will resort to anything, really anything.

Pros

It's easy to make friends and great if you considered to be a part of the "in-crowd". If you like happy hours multiple times a week and spending a ton of time with your coworkers outside of work just to get ahead and be recognized for your contributions, then you'll love it here.

Cons

Fraternity/sorority-like culture. If you're not a young, good-looking, single, white socialite, then good luck making a successful long-term career. And forget up-ward progression. EOY calibrations are a joke.
