Pros

The company has great benefits and incentives for workers. Tuition reimbursement is generous especially if you're a grad student, up to 10k per calendar yr and 5k yrly for undergrad.

Cons

In my department management was ineffective and less qualified ppl were allowed to run the show as long as they were buddies with upper management. Also, I worked there for over 2 yrs with no promotion. Within that time a new person came in as my counter part with less education than I and she ended up getting promoted 3 times within the last 6 months of my tenure there. She was favored, young and not a minority which contributed (imho) to her ability to move on so quickly.
