Pros

they promote their employees to take leaves.. getting leave approvals are very easy

Cons

Worst work-life balance. You will never get recognized for your work/ hardwork. Did not get even a 1% hike in two years of service. No job security as they will conduct silent layoffs. No team co-ordinations as they do not like the concept of team-bonding, not allowed to have 1-1 calls with your peers without informing managers. Know your role very well before joining so that later it does not effect your rating. Also there is micromanagement everywhere... most of the seniors do not value you and take credits for your work and in case of mistake they somehow shift it on you. The work environment is the worst as they do not respect your time off or holidays and expect you to work whenever they want you too. Also- they do not have Group medical insurance options.. these benefits are also worst

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to earn well over $100,000.00 with Standby pay and OT. Plus, mileage reimbursement of $.70 a mile.

Cons

Sometimes tedious work below what I would consider for an experienced FE such as hard drive destruction bin audits and checking in equipment.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
