Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance. Easy to move up career wise after 1-2 years of work. Great benefits, and ability to move around the company is fairly easy.

Cons

Overall great place to work. At times it can be difficult dealing with angry or disgruntled clients. Putting in for time off has to be done very far in advance .

Good company overall...

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everything is team dependent Pay, work ethics, quality of work etc. In general, pay will be good in any team. If you are in a relatively new team then you may be using C++ and somewhat latest technologies.

Cons

Most teams will not tolerate tardiness and late arrivals, however late departures are always welcome here (infact much needed). Fortran and really old technologies are still prevalent in some teams. If you work there for 4 years, you are rendered almost useless for any other company. Things are changing though and its much better. There is definitely a lot of politics ( which is not obvious to leaf nodes)

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, Diverse and friendly culture/environment, Strong client base, Opportunity for internal mobility, Good resources available through various internal teams/colleague's backgrounds

Cons

Many employees are in-the-box thinkers more taking orders than taking ownership. Several employees break down barriers while there are many more just coming in for their 8-5pm day. Very metrics driven - to the point of it being a negative in most employee's eyes.
