Pros

"Unlimited" vacation time. Reasonably good job security. Relatively low stress. Some interesting engineering problems.

Cons

Often boring. Bureaucratic overhead is out of control. Large company issues will negatively impact individual businesses even when those businesses are doing well. Very little reward for doing well.

Pros

Great co-workers - smart, hard working, passionate about what they do Continued education encouraged... tuition reimbursement up to a cap, numerous non-degree classes offered internally on job related skills Career advancement - lots of opportunities to try new roles and people tend to move jobs every few years

Cons

Long hours - my observation is that most salaried people work more than 40 hours a week

Pros

Smart, dynamic, talented co-workers. Some fantastic leaders. Was an awesome place to work.

Cons

Daily stress and distraction on restructuring. Regular exits by both leadership and employees due to reduction-in-force (involuntary) or voluntarily leaving for better opportunity and less stress/uncertainty. There has been a lot of employment uncertainty over a prolonged period of time.
