Pros

OK wages, good prospects for brown-nosers

Cons

Culture of nepotism, promotion for mates and relatives instead of those that merit it; the Peter Principle much in evidence here. Technical managers without degrees who can't manage either is a recipe for failure and that's what's happening

Pros

Good pay and benefits, nothing more.

Cons

The management is terrible, they talk about things like core values and internal development while all they do is wear you down and promote based on friendship and good ole boy systems. The only reason this company is so big is because of the acquisitions - it does not create lasting value.
