Great place to work

Pros

Great leadership, benefits, good compensation (bonuses are great). Used to be able to make a huge impact, although that is slowly changing for the worse. Weathered the recession pretty well, all things considered; good job security.

Cons

Difficult to move around in the company, although they claim to be trying to work on this. Politics are becoming more and more of a factor, it is harder and harder to get anything done. Management layers just keep piling up.

Pros

Great place to work, wonderful and intelligent people to work with, and very open communication. The work environment is also very laid back.

Cons

Sometimes it appears that things are not very meritocratic, as they should be. It seems the only way to really advance is by simply staying with the company for x amount of years. There is also a lot of bureaucracy to get anything done, as per usual with any large corporation.

Pros

Great place to start a career. Plenty of stuff to do and learn. Training classes and seminars are great for those interested.

Cons

IT work get tedious and boring. It's hard to move up, managers are going to stay in their position as long as they can. Sometimes there is too much politics.
