Pros

The pay was very competitive.

Cons

It seemed like everyone wanted to be better than everyone else. People weren't likely to get help with something because they wanted to get all the credit. Once, someone even took my project idea and passed it off as their own. To the company's credit, this person is no longer working there. However, the company was not reasonable with staff member's responsibilities outside of work.

Pros

Leader in the industry Family oriented environment Work/Life Balance Overall, it was a good experience. The company does a good job communicating with employees.

Cons

Slow moving organization Politics plays a fairly large role in progression The culture is "old school" in a sense that focus is on work harder and not necessarily smarter. There is a nostalgia for the old way of doing things.
