Pros

Respected company, here to stay, overall well run Variety of products (one stop shopping) Sr. Management seems to listen - employee survey results from last year seem to have made an impression as they made changes to the performance review process and job families, attempt at illustrating career paths have been made

Cons

Too many politics - if you're not 'in' you're ignored Weak management/leadership, employee sometimes left to determine what to do regarding goals and objectives which can cause confusion overall in the department. Some decisions take way too long to be made (months?!?!)
