      Pros

      Competitive salary, benefits, 401K plan.

      Cons

      Can be a nice place to work but probably like anywhere it depends on the department you are assigned to. Admins who have been with the company a long time say that the workload has increased and the perks are fewer than in the past. Hours are 8:30 am. to 4:15 which is nice with half day on Fridays in the summer. Bonuses are mainly in the form of company stock.

      Nice people, strong brands, but too lean

      Pros

      Most of the people are good to work with and collaborative. Aims for work/life balance with 2 day work from home option. Lots of opportunities to move and try different roles and to have exposure with senior management.

      Cons

      People are stretched too thin due to lean environment. Some managers are in their positions due to years of experience but have no people management skills or training.

      Pros

      I would say that there are many good things about working here: Great benefits Good employee compensation (even with only a mediocre review) If you are ambitious and willing to work for what you want you usually can get it (within reason) Good evironment to grow and cultivate your career Ability to work overseas and move around if you're disatisfied with your position Opportunities to grow yourself as a person and not just as an employee

      Cons

      Somestimes stuffy and conservative, but getting better (more transparency) Middle managers seem to be chosen based on advanced degrees and succession planning instead of actual managerial qualifications; I think this has to do with promoting people who've earned it, but by being limited to the promotion scale within the company. In order to get to a certain level, generally you must have people to manage, but not everyone can be a manager, so there are challenges there. HR is sometimes kind of a joke; they are not really well versed in the company policies for the benefit programs or leave programs...
