Vantaggi
There are a lot of pros already covered in other reviews: Alright Pay Alright benefits Work/ Life balance is good If you're on Cary, NC's campus then the art, landscape, and gym are amazing! I have found people in other departments have been very nice and supportive.
Svantaggi
Management based on how long you've been with the company not actual ability to manage or lead. Case and point would be my manager. As long as you're her friend on Facebook and don't ask her to actually do her job then she loves you. Management splits their "heavy lifting" duties to their employees so they don't have to do anything. As long as the managers play the social politic game with the upper management then they'll never have to work again! Little upward mobility depending on your department. In my department there is no growth. You're stuck as whatever position you were hired in until you've been here 10+ years, then you get to become a Sr. of your position. Goody, goody. Resistance to change on all fronts. If you have an idea just keep it to yourself. Management is set in their ways and will attempt to get you fired or will flat out ignore you when you try to offer up any ideas for how things could change. HR is a joke.
