Pros

Strong Mission; Great products Wonderful pedigree & reputation

Cons

1) Succession of management changes have made the company extremely inwardly focused. Hardly anyone is focused in the customer. 2) Too many internal meetings with people's competence is being judged by their ability to present PowperPoint charts that talk a good game but have no substance. 3) Product pipeline has been talked up heavily but there is hardly any new innovation 4) Too many layers of management slow down decisions. Also burdens with costs 5) HR practices lack transparency - usually biased towards known elements

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.
