Pros

the only pro is that you are working for a "reputable" company

Cons

extremely low skilled employees, hires are friends and sometimes relatives, some advanced titles making close to 200K but doing the job of a $15/hr clerk. never seen less efficient environment. some decisions are careless, irresponsible, and borderline immoral.

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.
