Pros

1. Good, family-friendly culture within my team 2. Willingness to try new things

Cons

1. Unclear corporate strategy. R&D based? Acquisition based? I don’t know. 2. Multiple re-orgs to try and get the right operating model but none seem to work so far. Needs better org design people/consultants as each change just burns money with nothing to show for it. 3. Perks no longer as good as they used to be; good people leaving. 4. Tanking stock price due to above 3.

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.
