Pros

great company with decent benefits, you get your birthday off, after 3 years you get 3 weeks of vacation, 3 floater days per year, 10 days sick time. people not in I.T. are generally very friendly.

Cons

there is absolutely no work life balance, if you are in I.T., DO NOT WORK HERE!! Too stressful, executives doesn't pay attention to details, would you like a boss who doesn't read your emails or lacks communication to ensure your stability in the workplace? not to mention the pay scale is lower then market conditions, they bring in contractors and promise that they will get hired and after years of waiting they are not hired. good luck getting a promotion because they do not promote from within unless you are in development areas that benefit the higher powers.

Pros

Good team and good friends

Cons

Matson talks about valuing people, but its promotion culture often says the opposite. Career growth can feel almost impossible unless you are willing to wait endlessly, navigate internal politics, or benefit from timing that has nothing to do with merit. Some promotions appear to happen not because someone is exceptional, but because they have been sitting in the same role for so long that the company eventually has to move them. It is a deeply discouraging environment for anyone who believes performance should matter.
