Avantages
It's the People. Awesome people to work with, from all walks of life. Great CEO in Brad Smith. Great benefits package. If you are savvy, smart, and willing to bust your tail to learn more on your own, you can make a very good nest egg and retirement portfolio. Innovation is on the rise, and big data is here and growing.
Inconvénients
While vacation time is nice, taking it became nearly impossible. Work/life balance was terrible. Growth opportunities were slim. Many expert contributors never leave the company voluntarily, allowing for upward opportunities. I survived more management changes than I can easily recall after many years. All it takes is one manager with whom you cannot seem to mesh, no matter what you do, to be sent packing unceremoniously. Performance Improvement Plans should be a sign that someone wants you out and are starting the process. Even if you meet the requirements from the PIP, you are easily terminated afterwards if you are in a "Right To Work" state. For all the talk of values, shareholders tend to be given the most weight.
