Pros

Competitive salary and benefits package Lots of paid training opportunities Good work/life balance

Cons

Management's apparent indulgence for rude and unprofessional behaviours Management is often times very disorganized and some may say dishonest. Lacks clear direction Heavy office politics, who you know versus what you know is key "Us versus them" mentality among coworkers

Pros

Lots of good training. Excellent presentations on multiple technical projects. Lots of diverse projects to get involved in.

Cons

Being seen in best political light is very important. Company is not always fair in handling promotions / layoffs. Good work, performance are not always rewarded; politics are more important. Probably a good place to stay for a few years before moving on, for most people. Too big and impersonal.
