      Too many quarterly meetings. Focus more on the short term making the numbers...

      Pros

      The people are great. Decent flexibility with work schedules.

      Cons

      Different quarterly meetings every month. I feel like I am always working on preparing on some quarterly meeting to inform management what business change since a week ago. I seem to have of them after the merger. Also, it feel like the company is less focus on long term growth and more on meeting short term Wall Street numbers to justify the merger. Finally, the layer of management increased after merger and they are still hiring higher level managers while laying off lower level individuals who does the grunt work.

      Pros

      Well run company; financially stable and successful. Is run as a values-based company, and most of the time it works. Employees have excellent benefits, salary, OK working conditions.

      Cons

      Do not expect much in the way of praise for what you accomplish. Company culture is driven - people work hard and very long hours - it is expected. Values-based culture seems to slip away when senior management is involved. Decision making is a painfully slow process, often leading to endless iterations. The company claims to have a leader based decision process; in fact it is usually consensus with process.

      Pros

      pay and benefits competent top executive team (and next level mostly)

      Cons

      lack of opportunities in some areas, conversely opportunities for advancement are better in areas such as finance, etc.. politics/group-think in some groups experience will mainly depend on your manager - there is a very wide range in competence and people skills. there are some well respected, competent, high integrity managers who are the key to survival, conversely there are unbelievably horrible ones at high levels too
