Good work life balance, but not the place for you if you want to learn.

Pros

Excellent work-life Balance. Fairly good compensation - but not fully competitive. Free lunch and dinner. Car Lease Program Stock Purchase Program helps you make money during recession.

Cons

Extremely boring work, especially if you are stuck maintaining something old and rickety. Some level of ass licking is needed. Politics is also gaining ground. Higher management seems unwilling to embrace new ideas - unless the same ideas come from US management. Not many opportunities to go abroad.
