Great salary and benefits but poor decision making
Pros
Salary and benefits are great and the vast majority of colleagues are nice people and great at their jobs.
Cons
Reliance on acquisitions and organizational instability perpetuate poor R&D productivity. Nepotism and upward management and politics drive poor decision-making. Too many people with shallow knowledge of project specifics involved in decision making. OWN-IT cultural initiative borders on Thought Police at times - lip-service in public, but I have never had a private conversation with any colleague who thought it was useful for every single colleague to spend a day away from work at a stage-managed OWN-IT day. Like all big companies, prioritization of portfolio is a preoccupation, fear of investing in the wrong thing and burdensome governance slow down the process, damaging competitive edge and requiring in-licensing to fuel portfolio, often not scrutinized thoroughly enough. Deals done for the wrong reasons, (especially to meet annual goals).
