Pros

You schedule your own hours Relaxed work environment Strong focus on quality and how it impacts end-users and customers Tons of opportunity for movement and growth Interesting products that improve people's lives Job security Excellent benefits

Cons

Huge organization which leads to some cons: minimal interaction/collaboration with other business groups; some gaps in management objectives; little interaction, guidance, or leadership from upper management; little company-wide pride (business group pride is strong, however) IT services are horrid The coffee sucks

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
