Pros

Teams have close relationships, especially across R&D / corporate labs. Pockets of supportive collaborators and good culture.

Cons

Culture between labs and business seems disconnected despite 150+ years. Leadership HIGHLY reactive to stock price, many budget freezes/hiring freezes on and off. Morale highly unsteady.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
