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.
