Pros

Lots of opportunities for leadership and networking and climbing the company ladder by rubbing shoulders with the higher-ups. Great life-work balance

Cons

Not enough responsibilities and job exposure in the first year of work. You will feel as if you are stifling with boredom. If you are actually interested in becoming a technical expert in your field, think again. Should start with 3 weeks vacation.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
