Pros

Good benefits. 4% 401K Match + 5 % in Defined Contribution Plan. Good vacation time.

Cons

Always going through layoffs. The company has a recurring habit of moving whole divisions across the country, sitting for few years and doing it again. They go through reorg after reorg that is dependent on the current manager of the month. Have worked for them a decade in 3 divisions, and have never been in a place where there wasn't the threat of the division moving or the site closing under a multi year reorg plan. They finish one plan, and then launch another. The recurring joke among staff is "waiting for my package".
