    Pros

    My peers are very nice and personable. Non-financial benefits are good. Excellent work-life balance.

    Cons

    The pay is extremely low for the level of knowledge and skills. Upper management can be distant and aloof--not personable. Many leaders lack management/leadership skills even though they have technical knowledgeable. Promotions are often based on who you know. Work can lack challenge.

    The benefits are great. Some of the staff is really great.
