Pros

Great and very talented people at the staff level. It's a very technically challenging and interesting place to work. A very strong patient and customer focus.

Cons

Way too much middle management and combined with horrific leadership in the company is leading the stock into the tubes. The persistent RIF a year attitude is getting old. The end result is unrealistic workloads for employees. Middle management MBA's come up with processes and procedures they don't have to live with.

Pros

The company is large enough that if you like the environment, you can easily move around to a different department.

Cons

Most promotions are systematic rather than being based on merit, skill, and leadership capacity. The culture is very bureaucratic and one of decision by consensus rather than decision by practicality.
