Pros
Compensation overall was average. Opportunities existed abroad, if one knew the correct people to contact.
Cons
I feel promotions and filling of positions within were not fair. Many educated, knowledgeable people were overlooked and feel between the cracks. I also felt there was no benefit to gaining a formal education at moments when up against others that were in the Good Ol' Boy network; very frustrating. Posted jobs were not matched with employees by HR, as should be. Senior management picked whom they wanted. I feel half the jobs posted on-line were a waste to apply for, knowing the positions were likely already filled by someone's buddy or relative. Work/life balance was difficult with a family for those that weren't in the home offices.
