Pros

Good pay Great benefits Still had a pension plan, but not for new employees now Reasonable flexibility in working from home when needed, etc

Cons

Long hours, depending on the job, 60 hour workweeks were not uncommon Travel, again depending on the type of job Little accountability for management Slow but steady downward trend in how people are treated

Pros

The opportunities, career advancement and the family friendly enivorment. Great management is a key to work for a large company that treat employee like a number.

Cons

I feel need more room to grow. You feel like you in a large bird in a small cage. You can't open your wings to fly.

Pros

Work with some very smart individuals. Excellent work/personal life balance. Very supportive and understanding management. Insight into design and patent process.

Cons

I didn't find it particularly stimulating to focus on a small subset of one particular project, and the work (while applicable to what I had learned and fundamentally interesting) was somewhat boring.
