Pros

Large company and therefore lots of different technologies in use. Stock purchase plan is great.

Cons

Raises and bonuses are poor if you're not higher than Director-level. Company has stated they are looking to replace technology jobs with people off-shore. Seems to be mostly in India. Non-tech jobs won't be far behind. Healthcare benefits could be better - especially for a Healthcare company. Trying to do Agile with a forced-ranking review system. Profits come before everything else. A lot of executives got really rich, but this will cost the company in the long run.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is okay as per industry. Work from home option is there

Cons

Only 80% of variable pay is considered as 100%. Other 20% is part of points or on spot award activities that you may or may not get. So if they say you are getting 100% of variable pay they only give 80%. Just playing with words. And their variable pay is too high 15% of fixed salary that more than any company. Worst facility. No parking 2wheelee or 4w for first 3yr. cutting down on basic facility everymonth
