Pros

compensation for entry level roles is reasonable, increases with promotions are barely 10% and result in them expecting to own you 24/7

Cons

If you are a free thinker, you will do better elsewhere. If you are okay drinking the koolaid, you may do okay for a while. Independent thought will be punished, and general corporate culture is less than healthy.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
