Pros

Great co-workers, good pay, good working conditions, a lot of autonomy, performance oriented, results count

Cons

Jack Welch's "Raising the Bar" philosophy of improving staff quality by placing the worst (how subjective can this be) performing 20% in corrective action continually is archaic. It would be much more productive to fire the hiring managers that hire weak perfomers. HR has been effectively shut down by an engineering approach to staff management, and they know it. Rather sad really as there are truly great people going through the revolving door of employment.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
