Solid in terms of stability, but keep in mind this is kind of a big evil corporation

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable Work could be technically interesting Very laid back generally Great work life balance Decent pay increases / promotion schedule Decent pay if you negotiate properly Generally pretty cool, laid back, helpful colleagues

Cons

Very dependent on wall street; lay offs can follow down quarters yet the CEO and executive staff make literally 10s of millions in salary and stock Working for a company that is currently being sued by *numerous* states for ground water pollution and other things of this nature Benefits in general for such a massively profitable company are only okay, i.e. healthcare costs could likely easily be subsidized Vacation is positively weak: 2 weeks for first 5 years travel and conference is non-existent now no commuter benefits no gym benefits long-term care benefit is a virtual unknown in HR 401K is decent but honestly for such a profitable company could be significantly better
