Pros

Benefits and salary are superior to other companies, work-life balance is respected, generous time off and sick leave

Cons

Technical ability is not valued as a desired competency, viewed as a commodity. As such, there is a glass ceiling for very technical people who wish to lead technical efforts. Everything is focused around "project management" skills which, ironically, are more-easily outsourced. Also, Carrie Cox's remarkable timing of share selling should be investigated, and Bob Bertolini is turning out to be nothing more than a hatchet man. All signs point to a prep job for a merger or sell.
