Pros

So many intelligent and professional people work at this company and there is so much that can be learned from them. The culture is generally good, with a fun atmosphere and activities to bring staff together.

Cons

The HR department is the biggest downfall within this company, without a doubt. Disjointed, out of touch and cliquey. If they don't like you, they can put a halt to a lot of your progress within the office. There have also been some very 'interesting' choices of new hires which could have been considered better and is likely to do more harm than good in the long run.

Pros

This is your average, run of the mill type corporation. The ability to work from home is offered (with manager approval) after 6 months. 401k matching and paid time off is offered as well.

Cons

Cost of healthcare (due to the merger). Management seems disconnected from employees and favoritism is shown in certain departments.

Pros

Pay is fine, but they don’t value or respect you. Your desired career path means nothing in certain BUs.

Cons

It’s very possible you will be stuck doing something that only requires a brain the size of a walnut for your entire time here.
