      Pros

      Relatively stable company that has been around for a long time. Now its own publicly-traded company that should allow for growth opportunities. Strong industry brand.

      Cons

      Culture of mediocrity - filled with long time employees that feel entitled to everything (ie, union mentality). Given that poor performers are not managed out (including some management) and high performers are not differentiated, no reason to grind out long days. Functional support groups not valued at all.

      Pros

      - Industry leader that continues to grow (slowly) and change (slowly) with the changing global economy - Financially sound - Solid pay, great benefits, good work/life balance and a pleasant working environment - Career opportunities for growth, but don't expect that they'll be handed to you - No hipsters/pretentious individuals, just good, nice people that work hard - Oakland Corp office is very commutable - Overall great place, especially for those that are mid-career (family) focused

      Cons

      - If you're looking for hyper growth or disruption, this is not the place - this industry is slow and capital intensive - Low turnover, so career opportunities may appear limited, especially if being compared to tech - No ping pong tables, kegs, all you can eat junk food, etc. - I think this is a Pro! - Not a sexy company or industry (if that's what you're looking for in your career)

      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.
