Don't believe the hype nor accept anything at face value.
Pros
MC is great at marketing it's name so it is a good stop to add to resume. Very competitive benefits. Good bonus but not appropriate distributed.
Cons
No pay raises!!! That's right, none. They say they are pay for performance, but they are not. Now that the profit sharing and performance bonus are combined into one it will even be less performance based and more the "chosen few" based. They use the Jack Welch evaluation process of ranking employees and only the top few get the bulk of the money and recognition. All others will be within a couple of percentage points when it comes to bonues. Year end rankings are done usually early Oct and then the year end reviews are written to support those rankings even before the employee provides input. They are very big on "smart moves" which is a lateral with no pay raise. They give more weight to self promoting and social justice than actual business productivity and supporting the customer. If you have strong religious beliefs and openly live/support those beliefs you will not have a productive career nor most likely enjoy working there. I would say it's a good entry-level job to get the name cache but is not a healthy place to make a career. Unfortunately it has taken me 15 years to stop be living the hype. The first 5 years they lived up to the hype but it has been down hill as a work environment the last 10 years which corresponds to the IPO and huge headcount/mgt layer increases.
