Pros

- Respect for employees' work/life balance. Salaried employees have some flexibility in work hours. Most managers are willing to work with you on this, as long as you're a reliable employee with no performance issues. - Excellent vacation and health benefits (includes dental, vision, prescription, retirement savings/401k) - Friendly and respectful work atmosphere - Plenty of learning and career development opportunities (includes tuition reimbursement) - Employee appreciation events and activities are very nice and well-organized - company not afraid to spend money to reward employees for hard work - Good on-site cafeterias/food service - Challenging work - very bright colleagues who will push and inspire you to do your best.

Cons

- Very risk-averse, to the point where project implementation is difficult and can drag on for months. Too much red tape and documentation are required to get any project off the ground. - The trade-off for the great benefits is that salaries can be 10K lower than what you'd find elsewhere for a similar job title/role. - Success within your career path depends mostly on who you know and how well you fit with your direct manager's personal focus and leadership style. Employees who are stuck in a rut career-wise can become "unstuck" by moving to a different department/manager. - Managers spend too much time in meetings and travelling
