Pros

Great benefits if you are of the baby boomer generation. 401k match, dental, vision, healthcare. If you play ball and decide to devote your whole life to the company, you may be taken care of.

Cons

- Demands all employees work in the office. - Terribly uncompetitive tech pay. - Massively overworked. - Outdated ranking system which serves to harm employees instead of reward high performers. The top brass won't change it because they benefitted from it. - Attrition as people flee a sinking ship. Over 20% this year. - No young talent. - Outdated tech. - Lack of investment in its people. - Competitors offer much more generous and rewarding packages.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
