Pros

I worked with a some great people who really knew what they were doing and were willing to share their knowledge and skills with me and I learned a lot during my time there. I felt that my compensation was fair and the benefits were good. We had the ability to work from home if necessary. There are a lot of amenities on-site.

Cons

My department was moved to a different site less than year after I was hired and for me, the commute was very long (45 minutes to 1 hour each way).
