Pros

Good pay, I had the freedom to do my job without much interference and with support when I needed it. Many good people work there.

Cons

Killer politics among Directors and Vice Presidents in Divisions and at Corporate. No job security We were told that management did not value our work and loyalty. Purges through early retirement that destroyed managerial follow through and organizational continuity.

Pros

Great benefits and job security.

Cons

Little to no career development. Poor reward/recognition system. Subpar salaries for scientists, most likely due to location.

Pros

Work life balance is very good. Normal work hours and very unusual to work on a weekend.

Cons

Company decisions to do almost anything from the most complicated to the most simple take forever. Worst IT organization I have ever come across. The IT infrastructure costs the average employee at least an hour a day dealing with lousy hardware and software.
