Pros

The hourly rate of pay is very good. A lot of additional perks. Health insurance, annual bonus, recognition system, subsidised canteen.

Cons

Complete nightmare on an interpersonal level. Bullying and favouritism is rife. New cell operating system has made the situation worse. It should be called the clique operating system. Management has completely lost touch with what's happening on the floor and doesn't seem to realise what's going on. People are afraid to speak out. Quality issues are increasing and management are covering up issues.

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.
