Pros

Great environment, friendly employees, great benefits, focus on work-life balance, my Director is very helpful about my career goals and aspirations

Cons

Senior management is often out of touch with the employees and company as a whole; we are going through difficult financials times and the average workers have some great ideas; reorganizing the BU every 10 months will not resolve the issues

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
