Pros

Great benefits, great salary above market average, job security, amazing balance between personal life and professional life. You come in at 8 am and leave at 5 pm. Nobody asks you to stay late.

Cons

Spoiled employees, people complaining a lot for no reason, too many rewards and no great challenges, it's a company for engineers, not IT guys, too much burocracy. Nobody wants to take responsibilities.

Pros

Been with the company for 18 years. It has been mostly good and not many major complaints.Good environment, benefits, friendly co-workers, in my department the team and managers have been great. It is the second best place I have worked. The first was a teacher in an elementary school in a rural New England town. Small classes and only one smart aleck kid.

Cons

Yes, there are some cons but there is no perfect place to work. If it is not your cup of tea and you are not happy move one. As John Lydgate said: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time." The positives out weighed the negatives in my case.
