'LEAP' - Their technologist graduate program is exceptional. Six months of training, four of which are classroom-based. Professional external trainers teach everything from agile to public speaking to Spring MVC. They invest heavily in their young talent, and it pays.

Salary was competitive as a grad (in my location at least), as are annual salary increases (I averaged 8-10% per year entering as a grad, in several smaller bumps, enough even to stay on par with peers who job-hopped!), though I don't know how that scales for higher-ups. The performance/review process is formalized and well-run.

The work environment is very good: flexible work hours, good work/life balance, very little tolerance for toxic behavior, and good people. I usually work 40 hours and leave the office at 5 most days.

As a technologist, the office is still very male-dominated, though this is a problem everywhere for software engineers.

A lot of the salary/bonus structure is very clearly tied up in the overall company performance. During a recession or market downturn, the salary/bonus experience may be very different.

There seems to be a lot of politicking in the upper management. My team felt this through frequent group re-orgs, initiative changes, sudden U-turns on key priorities, etc.

Keep investing in your employees, and keep the huge BU re-orgs and site-unification strategies to a minimum as senior leaders move around.
