Pros

- Pay - Pretty easy to fly under the radar if you like that

Cons

I think this will differ greatly based on team but just speaking to my personal experience. - Lack of communication with hire ups making working on your own ambiguous and receiving work difficult - A solid 2 minute walk from the nearest window makes it tough to get sunlight in the cube farms - Your coworkers probably aren't into their jobs either - Not a good work life balance in the culture, working hard and late is expected - Tons of overhead and legacy systems

A dull, boring place to work

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

9/80 schedule, generally relaxed environment, flexible schedules allowed as long as you finish your hours, tuition reimbursement, leadership development programs

Cons

Benefits are not great, facilities are old and definitely not as good as Facebook or Google, company does not really care for you as a whole, no efforts in retention nor diversity initiatives. It's a boring place to work. It's comfortable, but you won't be excited to go to work every day and have the opportunity to learn new things. Reluctant to give raises.

Decent company stuck behind the times

Business Outlook

Pros

9/80 schedule is great, ability to move within company, job security

Cons

A lot of benefits have been taken away this year. The sick time is a joke now and the health insurance isn't great. Raises aren't high enough. The buildings are all old and need upgrades. The company needs to get more on board with modern practices like telecommuting.
