Pros

Good people who care about why they're doing what they are doing Ability to work in an interesting content area Solid pay after you've been with the company more than 5 years

Cons

ZERO/incompetent talent management, even when classified as LDRP or Hi Talent Management believes they can just review projects until they somehow magically coalesce into a business strategy

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.
