Really great people and company

Business Outlook

Pros

The total compensation is quite good, a sizable portion is in the form of a company performance bonus and so people don't seem to really factor that in despite receiving one 11 out of the past 12 years. The work-life balance is great in most functional departments, although some are not as good. The people that you would work with, though, are top notch.

Cons

Lack of empowerment and accountability.

Business Outlook

Pros

The environment is laid back and flexible. The people are those I would be friends with in real life. That's important when you spend most of your waking hours at a place. Benefits are generous.

Cons

Pay is too low. The culture is moving slowly away from a hierarchical, siloe'd, communication controlled quagmire into something more flexible and dynamic.
