Pros

Great Benefits especially medical insurance and 401

Cons

Used to be a great company but a lot of things changed after a new director started micro managing multiple departments. No advancement opportunities, and too much politics. Higher management getting paid way more money while the ones doing all the hard work pay less. Too many dramas and wasting time for unnecessary stupid meetings.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
