Pros

Deep pockets brings acquired innovation. Brand name recognition.

Cons

- HR is a complete front. They are not there to help support employees who are being bullied/harassed and are there to protect the higher-up managers or executives. Retaliation is a real problem! They only care about not getting sued or the optics of their organization, not the actual well-being of their employees. - Outdated performance review system. - People managers who have zero clue how to lead people. - Constant job and department restructuring. How are employees supposed to learn and become subject matter experts if there is constant change every other day?

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.
