overall great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

job security; respectable pay; challenging work; strong brand identity; opportunities for internal moves among functions and international sites; enough variety in subcultures to find a good fit.

Cons

shared sense that even a strong performer one must leave the company and return to receive a significant raise; advancement is paced (i.e., few young people in leadership positions, though this is probably characteristic of the industry); differentiation among performance levels is weak (and this is not necessarily a bad thing).

This place is a nightmare. 90% of chance your cubicle will be with rats and cockroaches.

Pros

They pay you on time

Cons

Do you have an MBA? Hide it. Nobody wants it here. Do you have a nice career outside? People will ask you "why did you come here? This place is a joke." Nepotism, silos everywhere, high turnover, 5 different bosses in a year. Just stay away if you can (If you leave in Mt Vernon, you have not so many choices).
