Pros

Pay and benefits are great. Most people are pretty nice. Training is great too. There are many projects going on simultaneously, so one has to find the right persons to get involved.

Cons

Fixed step programs are a challenge to compete when your day job is heavy with responsibility. Even tougher when completion was on everyone's objective. When times get tough, folks get defensive and protective of their jobs. There are lots of cliques, similar to high school. There are those who play the game, and those who don't. Wasn't around long enough to see the benefit. Take the quarterly reviews seriously, because meeting expectations may not be enough to stay employed.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
