Pros

Great people especially at non-management level. Products and mission you can believe in.

Cons

Poor communication/ management transparency. Reactive, rather than proactive approach to resolving quality issues, despite being a large, well-resourced company. Lower level employees in manufacturing underpaid and overlooked. No flexibility (no concept of work/ life balance).

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.
