Pros

Great benefits. Nice facilities, great gym. Historically very employee centric company that tries to instill good corporate values. Fun activities, relaxed dress code, move to more work life balance like allowing more flexible work arrangements. Support for volunteering activities and socially responsible. Good college tuition and advanced degree program offering.

Cons

With the new CEO there is a trend to hire more from the outside and there is a significant turnover at the VP and executive level. I have seen some really good employees and managers leave or being let go, but their external replacements are not necessarily better and many so called new "star"employees prove to be a failure and don't last long. Although HR talks about talent management and internal mobility, in reality there is very little happening in terms of internal career development and thoughtful rotations. Employees are left on their own to learn about new positions and apply. Most often external candidates are given preference simply because they are external. Employee loyalty is decreasing. There is not a clear vision strategically of where the company is going.

Pros

Health insurance was provided immediately and there were many times you could wear jeans. Food was often involved if goals were met.

Cons

CONSTANT phone calls. Lack of support/help when asked. You’re just a number. You can lose your bonus due to other people’s errors.

Pros

The pond and trail outside of the office were nice

Cons

The downtown office is a joke. The company tries to attract young talent by touting the office, but I was never allowed to work from downtown. An employee was reported to HR several times by more than one person, but ended up being promoted twice.
