Pros: The people you work with are wonderful.

Cons: Horrible work-life balance. Leadership is toxic and inflexible. They hire almost exclusively new grads, so people don't recognize how they're being taken advantage of.

Pros: They have good pay here. The culinary team rocks.

Cons: If there was ever a company with bureaucratic red tape and technical debt, this is the one. I spend very little time coding and most of my time in meetings, making/reviewing designs, and trying to make my way through the extremely complex system in place. Additionally, they won't let you work remotely. All employees must live in the Madison area. This is becoming an industry standard, and the company is bleeding talent due to other companies being willing to offer remote work. It's hard to empathize with management's iron fist on this policy.

Pros: - Excellent campus - Great cafeteria - Good salary - Good job security - It is satisfying to see the features you developed (as a Software Developer) being used by customers! (I cannot say the same about Technical Services and Project Management folks)

Cons: - Dealing with demanding customers can be very difficult. - Most of the company still uses VB for front-end development (increasingly C#/ASP.Net is being used). The backend is completely done in an obscure environment called 'cache' (the language is called "M"). So, the developers get less and less marketable skills. - The review system is still "Closed" (i.e., you do not know what your review was; all you see is some increase in your salary at the end of the year). - Sometimes the company feels like a "cult".
