      Pros

      Decent Pay, Good place to learn from uniquely talented co-workers, full commitment to diversity

      Cons

      Forced performance distributions, Rating determined by managers you rarely see, Salary compression, job category salary ranges are market based but actual salary distributions are ~ 89% of mean, Promotion opportunities go to outsiders, 4 is a career level, decreasing benefits ( no pension for newbies, lots of pressure to make up any sick time, 1 choice for health care package, etc), management and workers growing more disconnected...2 very different worlds, local managers neutered by HR and policies. Full Spectrum Leadership is preached....ever constricting management is practiced.

      Pros

      At least your get pay :-)

      Cons

      Benefits are insanely high (You will see when you go to orientation) Senior Management looks for every opportunity to rape the customer by overbilling and sub-contracting folks who don"t have any real experience There is no real career growth - you are just a work-horse, so don't think about educating yourself to get the next level

      Pros

      Good place to start a career, some good benefits: flextime, health care, was a good pension plan before 2006 (discontinued for new employees then), opportunity to advance if you know the right people or if management likes you.

      Cons

      Layoffs in March surprised everyone, even directors & management. No real reasons given for who was picked for layoffs even tho in this recession, company had a brilliant financial year in 2008. Absolutely NO job security! Never know when EBS will lay off people. Morale is extremely poor & employees are scared they will be laid off in the next go around. Very difficult to get promotions or move away from old technology; pigeon-holed into one project if you are good at it. Management protects poor performers if they are "friends" or members of the "good old boy" network. Lots of competition between workers to get ahead & stab peers in the back. Management does not listen to creative, innovative ideas. Somewhat of an oppressive atmosphere all around.
