Pros

The training and opportunities on offer are amazing. When they say they invest in people they truely mean it. The benefits package is great when you consider the whole package and not just salary. Some of the people are great to work with and make the time to support you and help you develop.

Cons

The size of the company and the amount of policy material can make it difficult and frustrating for newcomers to find information and do simple tasks.

Pros

The organization is generally cooperative with work life balance issues. It is an opportunity to work for an international organization.

Cons

The company is very political. Decision making seems to be made for personal rather than professional reasons. Talent level is poor. Working conditions in Indianapolis are horrible. The organization has been a dissapoinment to me on almost every level.
