Pros

Good benefits (but average for a big corporation) Good exposure to co-workers from many different countries. Interesting work if you are lucky enough to get in to the right group, or can make friends with influential managers. Many co-workers care about the job they do. Finally realized Harrisburg offices were huge dumps and began remodeling them. Results are much nicer office space.

Cons

Small town Pennsylvania is not the center of the universe like many think. Below average salaries for a large company. Never enough people in IT to get the job done. Senior management outsources work but does not have to deal with the poor results. They make the big decisions, then walk away. Remaining employees are left to deal with these new headaches in addition to their own jobs. Outsourcing company uses people on a different continent who can't communicate in understandable English. Work load is too high and projects are rarely refused. You are being judged at all times. Lots of cost cutting. I'm sure senior management will cut medical benefits the first chance they get, and then brag to Wall Street about good financial results.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
