Pros

The connection to patients, competitive compensation, and some employee services.

Cons

Old and stale company that just can't keep up with other bay area tech companies. Cafeterias charge for food, many onsite services are unavailable and unreliable, major budget cuts, employees not being provided the resources necessary to successfully contribute, and extremely toxic leadership in some departments.

Pros

Hard working smart people committed to patients Good salaries and benefits Flexible working now actively encouraged

Cons

Some big product failures mean there is a 4 year gap in the portfolio Senior Management masqueradading job cutting as an 'agile transformation'. Top talent seeing through the smoke and mirrors and jumping ship while a lot of mediocre middle managers hang on to their jobs for dear life Speaking truth to power will curtail careers
