Pros

Good Benefits Work life balance is good. Suburban location makes commuting easier for most of the employees. Nice environment friendly building.

Cons

Completely unfair in promotions - worst place I have seen in more than 24 years of professional career. Management has no idea about how frustrated the most hard working employees are - they are the ones who go unrewarded where sycophancy is highly rewarded. Promotions given on the basis of gender to promote higher share of a particular gender in middle and senior management. Annual review and rating system is highly messed up.
