Work life balance, limited pay hikes, limited growth. Be careful and investigate the group you join.
Pros: Work life balance, when you're not on the road. Work from home available widely. Great benefits - superior really. If you're looking for a time to float a while in a slower environment, this may be a good place to park for a limited time.
Cons: I agree with most other reviews. They are straight-on correct. It is true you need to negotiate your salary right up front as you could go years with no adjustment even if you are a rock star performer. No growth, no career progression, no motivation at work whatsoever. I saw in my business unit there was no accountability to deliver, a lot of talk, no action. The GM hired his friends in, so everyone had to watch not to upset the status quo. It is true you will be going to lose your skills if you stick here for long. There is a strong push for diversity for women, but that accounts to hiring women, not progressing them in a career. Be sure to ask the hard questions in your interview, if it sets off your supervisor you know it's not the right team to join.
