Pros

Well financed company with great products. There is a good work-life balance, rarely a call for more than 40 hrs.

Cons

Many managers are oppressive and closed minded. They are decades behind other organizations in cost down focus and they need to catch up fast or they will not compete long term.

Pros

Good benefits and if you are an engineer, you get to work on some cool stuff. Nice facility and cafeteria. Co-workers are generally nice and look out for each other.

Cons

Mid-level management is pretty bad; very bulky and inefficient. Lots of red tape. Lots of time wasted spinning wheels. Takes a long time to get things done. Management culture is outdated.

Pros

Products and strategic play for the long run.

Cons

Unqualified individuals with long tenure who fit in the culture are promoted to their level of incompetency and are allowed to remain in leadership positions till they reach retirement.
