      Great Benefits but Crushingly Corporate

      Pros

      401k matching is unheard-of anywhere else. Perks like company sponsored happy hours and aperos were wonderful.

      Cons

      Monotonous, difficult to move around, raises are non-existent. Performance-review process is cumbersome, complicated, and not engaging. Management in other countries makes it very difficult to make any sort of impression. Could go a week or two without any conversation with line managers.

      Overall a great company but with some serious shortcomings

      Pros

      Respectful and pleasant atmosphere to work in. Work is demanding but not overly. Salaries and bonuses (I believe), are still some of highest out there.

      Cons

      Opportunities for progression are very slim. Age and years of service seem to be the ultimate deciding factors, not competence. Real change (not fruitless restructuring as mentioned below) is generally unwelcome with people preferring the status quo (why rock the boat seems to be the overall attitude). Job security is currently a big problem as the firm continues to make ill thought out restructuring changes designed to reduce operating costs in the short term.
