Pros

The benefits are great and dependent upon your manager, the work/life balance exceeds expectations.

Cons

The high level management seems to be moving the company in a good direction, however, somewhere the translation of their vision gets lost within the senior to mid level management sector. Implementation of any vision is limited to the committment level of the mid-level management.

Pros

Great benefits. They are really serious about the work/life balance initiative; allowing several to work from home up to 5 days a week. The organization at the most Sr. levels is very communicative. You can see the vision and the strategy they want to see in place as they focus on the emerging markets.

Cons

If you are in IT, management at the middle level is inept. The wrong people are being promoted. It's more based on who you know and less on real potential. You have to fend for yourself which is exhausting and tiresome. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Diversity is paid lip service at the Director level and above.
