Pros

Great pay and benefits. Excellent new facility in Cary, NC. Opportunity to really contribute to the success of a major company in global technology.

Cons

As with any large corporation, change is hard. They want to operate their new NC campus like a startup, but they have 150 years of corporate culture to change.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
