Pros

Good place to work, good compensation, flexible, good people overall, life saving products with real life impact, good stewards of community

Cons

Slow paced, lacks of innovation and entrepreneurial drive, would rather buy innovation then invest within the company to innovate, senior management too risk averse and dug into their trenches. Needs a good shaking at VP and above level to rekindle the company

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.
