Not friendly to employees

Pros

Pay, but then again most service companies pay well

Cons

One sided management. Experience does not count, degree only does. Family life or home time not there unless upper manager. Travel is okay but only economy seating while managers sit in business or first class. Older you are the faster they want you out

Pros

Travel opportunities, training and development opportunities. Good health benefits Good resume builder

Cons

Big company syndrome, little opportunities to grow in career. Management tends to be aloof, thinking only of themselves and forgetting the company is driven by the lower ranking employee's talents Lots of attrition, losing very talented and good people because of previous ill handled situations

Pros

Good people. Interesting technology.

Cons

Dishonest HR practices and lack of transparency. Lack of corporation direction and strong management. Management by Objectives in one year cycles dominate everything and now quarterly IBT is the main corporate goal as a publicly traded company. Dying industry with lack of diversification. No control on future career path.
