Pros

Good salary and benefits. Flexible work schedule with opportunites to work from home. Very good mid-level management. Nice office and cafeteria on site.

Cons

Always reorganizing, outsourcing and sending jobs off shore. Upper management concentrates on customer satisfaction and has forgotten about employee satisfaction. Moral is very bad. There is a strong fear that the goal is to phase out Denver office and move to LA and NY and leave a small operations office in Denver.

Pros

Pockets of really good folks, currently has solid revenue. Very nice campus in Englewood. Some really sharp technology (some not). Decent Pay

Cons

Lack of solid vision. Good slogans but disjointed action. Many changes recently so we seem to be in a perpetual "this could be the year" state. Overly dependant on some antiquated technology and practices.

Pros

It's a global company with a trusted, 160 year old brand which commands a lot of attention. There are terrific people who work very hard everyday and it is a fabulous way to work with people of every nation, race and creed. There is a sense of teamwork.

Cons

IT infrastructure is like a dinosaur. Focus is only on the core business which has been in decline, so company is in denial and won't take risks to escape into a new horizon. It takes forever to launch new products.
