Business Outlook

Pros

Good salaries. Decent benefits. Interesting work. Will pay overtime to salaried workers in certain circumstances. Layoffs are rare. When layoffs do occur, they are managed fairly and with significant advance notice.

Cons

Promotions are rare for senior level and difficult. You have to change positions to get promoted. But, most internal positions are "wired". Bonuses and cash awards are a joke.
