Pros

Decent pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Management treated employees with disrespect. It seemed their goal was to force inherited staff to leave by treating them poorly and replacing them with cheaper offshore resources.

Pros

1) Regular hours 2) Decent benefits 3) People are nice Once you get comfortable and start meeting people, most people tend to be professional and very personable.

Cons

1) Work spaces are open cubicles. There is no privacy and if several people are on the phone, it's noisy. 2) You could end up doing something you didn't sign up for (ie technical person having to work in a functional role without warning) 3) Orientation process takes a long time and has little human contact. 4) Most floors don't have any area to go eat lunch in the building. You either have to leave or sit at your desk.

Pros

They value the fact that you have a life outside of work and that it's important to ensure that their employees balance work and family appropriately. Benefits reflect this as well. Their is a decent recognition for a job well done, although it may be a bit slow in coming sometimes.

Cons

The pay really is sub-standard. The benefits do offset it to a degree, but part of the result is a lower-than-average level of expertise within the organisation, genreally speaking (but there are a few very bright and competent people too!). The standard share purchase plan (while appreciated) does nothing to motivate better performance.
