Pros

Medical device development so work has meaning

Cons

The work environment is horrendous. Cubes have no privacy and no space for the equipment you are actually supposed to develop on. Computers provided to develop on are old and IT routinely uninstalls tools needed for development. Leadership does not trust it's employees. Pay is low and there are no opportunities for advancement.

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.
