Pros

Excellent pay (401K match, stock options and bonus) and incredible benefits

Cons

High stress environment, regular layoffs and reorgs leading to loss of tribal knowledge and lack of trust with leadership. Company has become more about the bottom line and serving the investors, rather than the customer and respecting lower level employees time and work life balance.

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.
