      Pros

      Financially stable company. For the most part work environment is flexible. CEO is dynamic. 4 weeks vacation is great. Well run company.

      Cons

      Too much bureaucracy. Very top heavy. Decisions made a lower levels are too mind boggling. Very disjointed. Not easy to transfer jobs. Internal jobs are posted even though hiring decisions are already made.

      Pros

      The ability to work remote if necessary. The extensive benefits for an employee including 401K matching and Employee Assistance Program, and onsite health and fitness center. Many of the people I worked with as peers were intelligent and fun to work with

      Cons

      This company has changed dramatically over the past decade. Internally it can now be a very political environment where promotions and increases were awarded to those who bought into empire building within business units and not people doing the real work essential to the success of the company. The focus on process and metrics is only effctive when everyone either agrees or is aware of the metric targets, without that it seems like evaluations are subjective and unfair. Anyone who had been managed out due to restructure is more likely to have been targeted for being more of a thinker than the management wants.
