Pros

Work-life balance is better than most companies. Depending on your manager, you can have pretty flexible working arrangements. Do your job and there shouldn't be any problems. Lots of very smart and friendly co-workers. I learned a lot and made lasting friendships. Also have the exposure to work on a global scale with customers and coworkers. 25cent items in the vending machine. Monthly breakfasts/lunches. Kid's Holiday Party. Group outing.

Cons

Very archaic ways. No internal process is easy. An organization that touts it's ability for seamless process management should not have such round about implementations for simple business processes. Little to no growth opportunity. Evidence is the many employees with close to a decade of time with company in the same or similar roles. Growing requires knowing the right person in the organization at the right time.

Pros

Great products. Can make good money if you are patient, get lucky to get assigned to the right opportunities, and work yourself to death. Can use sick leave as vacation, so time off is generous.

Cons

Boring. No advancement or education opportunities. Management is so old school, it's embarrassing. Can't use the word "person", almost pathologically uses the word "resource" instead to depersonalize the environment. Internal technology highly inhibits motivation and initiative. Health plan not good, retirement/401K awful. No stock options (and CEO doesn't believe in options for employees).

Cons

No advancement opportunities. Old school management. People are receiving minimal merit increase and there is no employee training or talent development.
