Pros

Decent salary; excellent benefits; enjoyed my co-workers; nice work/life balance

Cons

Micromanaged by middle management who, a lot of times, did not have a grasp of what was going on within the department. Focused too much "focused feedback" which at times was very critical and not given in a motivating manner. One of their core beliefs is "Speak Up" but speaking up could backfire and have a negative impact on your career. Middle management pretty much wants you to agree with whatever they are saying. Lost focus of the customer in the time I was there. Very behind in technology.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
