I work with good people, but unfortunately the company is mostly driven by meeting EPS goals.
Pros: Very Smart employees, Good for gaining leadership experience, Company still has a lot of prestige (looks good on resume), Competitive Starting Salary & Benefits
Cons: Slow & Tedious Promotion Process (You essentially have to write 16 essays on why you deserve a promotion and this is with the new "less cumbersome" Go Organic process).  Executive pay is tied to EPS Goals and any failure to meet those goals rolls down on employees and effects compensation.  Company changed 401(k) matching so that match is paid in lump sum to 401(k) at the end of the year.  You miss out on investment growth throughout the year and if you leave before 15 December, you don't receive any match for the entire year.
