Pros

Fair compensation, good benefits, good technology. One of the few companies that still gives a bonus and offers a pension.

Cons

does not keep its employees informed of changes being made, tends to inform employees after the fact. Reviews are a hassle, if you even get one on a regular basis. You do have to complete paperwork for your own review that is very time consuming and useless.

Pros

The company name looks good on resume. Working at HQ will also help resume. The brand will help me transition into another company at some point.

Cons

Treat people like cattle. They are taking full advantage of poor job market (i.e., insane workload, expect 60 hours per week or else you have no chance of being rated a high-performer). Leaders tell people one thing and then deliver another. It's much more about what leader-clique you fall into (or can survive) vs your abilities. Most political environment I've ever seen or heard of.

Pros

Co-workers are often supportive and family environment

Cons

Too much channel conflict. Top management is unable to make decisions that support employees. They make many poor strategic decisions.
