Pros

Pretty competitive base salary levels Excellent benefits and policies Work from home arrangements available at least once per week, if not more, in most groups Excellent name/brand recognition

Cons

Extremely political culture Hard to tell where you really stand and if you're "in" Only those who are in the know get promoted - not transparent process Constant fear of the next round of layoffs creates a toxic environment full of finger pointing and self-serving behaviors. Culture is not team-oriented Bonus program doesn't go very far down in the organization

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
