Pros
Free parking, unlimited vacation, some healthcare and daycare provided at reduced cost on site in some locations, generally good people in most areas of the company
Cons
Lexmark made a fatal mistake years ago by acquiring companies without any thought as to how to blend them together both technically and culturally. The result is a clunky and inefficient mishmash that barely works together, if at all. This acquisition approach became the new "strategy." The problem is that upper management did such a poor job understanding how everything should fit together that they were not able to articulate any of it to the employees or customers. Company acquisition decisions were not based on technology that made sense but rather what companies looked good on the books. Many of the companies that have been acquired have since been shut down (quietly) and employees laid off. The overall morale is horrible and very little is getting accomplished internally because people just don't see the point. Leadership is nonexistent and not communicating which only adds to the anxiety. The company is in a downward spiral.
