Pros

Depending on team, can work from home. Great Software Engineer program for 2 years to learn. My manager is fantastic but horror stories for others. Free coffee and tea.

Cons

Pay for software engineers way below average. (I know money isn't everything but they are way below average.) Old technologies and very boring. Looks like a bunch of old people where everyone hates their life. Very cheap company when it comes to snacks, etc...

Pros

They treat people well overall. It's all about connecting to others to get anything done, so if you're great with networking and maintaining connections it's a good place to work. Honestly the kindest layoff I've ever experienced, including genuine internal support to find another job. Still doing meaningful DOI work, including some of the best friendly benefits out there.

Cons

If you don't have a highly specialized cyber security skill set or work at a main campus in Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New York or New Jersey don't expect to ever move up the ladder. Staying focused on goals OR successfully communicating strategy pivots seems to be beyond most MDs in Global Technology. They seem to be having a re-org problem at the moment. I had 5 managers in the last 365 days I was there, hardly time to get any work done and then challenged at the end to show impact or delivery, all you can do is shrug and say 'tell me how, when you moved me every 2 months?"
