Pros

There is a gym, beautiful new LEED certified building, Herman Miller furniture, nice cafeteria, and flexible summer hours. Working and learning environment is really nice, it is easy to influence positive change, and working for a small segment has helped me quickly become very business savvy.

Cons

You will wear more than one hat and you will never get rich working for a private corporation.

Pros

Tremendous opportunities to develop yourself. Many unique approaches to running their business (long term view, The Five Principals, ROTA (Dupont) Financial Management ensuring high growth and high cash generation, hiring and paying in the 70th to 90th percentile). High caliper co-workers filled with intellectual curiosity and learning agility. Great pay and benefits. Great brands.

Cons

Worked very hard and often under stress. (Got better in 2000's). Caliper of the people and pay levels deteriorated toward 50th percentile in last decade. Some "boot lickers" evade detection and rose to high levels in management but most were eventually discovered and terminated.

Pros

Good medical benefits. Free candy to eat while you sit in front of your computer.

Cons

Old ways, inefficient processes, which creates much stress from constant shifts of the mind. People complain about being worn out and micro managed.
