Pros

Company culture is good, friendly people to work with

Cons

Management compensates for their flaws by being very controlling (not given any schedule freedom, watching the clock, texting/being on the phone is frowned upon, restrictions on who you can talk to/what you can say outside the group and on emails). Manager loses temper, is quick to call you out in front of the team, but never in front of other teams as it makes him look bad. Makes the working environment hostile. A lot of this seems to be happening at the director level and higher levels too.

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.
