Pros

- Large market share in some units - Markets served are growing - Have largely given up on forced integration of the various predecessor companies and are allowing them to do their own things

Cons

- Poor benefits, and worsening over time - Every year, massive negative benefits changes happen just weeks before the end of the year - Lack of professional development - Lack of promotion ability - Remuneration is below industry standards - Too much dead weight for performant staff to carry - Negative and hostile culture - Too many technical staff members are so far out of date (20+ yrs) that there is no innovation in many product lines.

Pros

I can not in good conscience think of any pros. The company used to be a great place to work, but now they deal with outdated technology and no clear vision of how to improve it.

Cons

The company is very disorganized with politics playing central role. I've never seen a boss at war with his or her own department, blaming everyone else except of course herself, for being unprepared for some task. The only people who stick around are those who can swim in ugly waters of backstabbing and butt kissing.
