Pros

Excellent 25 days of paid vacation per year 90% tuition re-imbursement plan for continuing education Managment seems generally suportive of expanding employee skills Flexible home office option availble to most employees for 2-4 days per work week. 3% of salary automatically placed into a 401k with addtional 3% given with a employ contribution @ 6% Company profits have been growing steadily so any layoffs are unlikely in the near future

Cons

As with most large corporations, rapid advacement is more difficult. After the recession many employee perks and company events were greatly scaled back. Pension plans no longer availble.

Pros

25 PTOs Average, but not bad pay Beautiful facility, including gym, cafeterias, on-site nurse station, walk/run path throughout campus Wireless access throughout the facility Great people Encourages internal transfers - quicker ways to get promoted if you find the right opportunity

Cons

Very political Slow promotion - I was doing the job of higher level for about two years before I got promoted Small raises (especially compared to exec. bonus..) Your work/life balance would depend on the dept you work for

Pros

It has a full service cafe and gym, plus a walking trail around the perimeter of the grounds. The security of the facility is great.

Cons

The employees are micro managed. They not treated as adults. The promotions are given to the most popular people and not the most qualified or efficient.
