Pros

Competitive pay, very good benefit package. Mid-level management is generally very fair. Most employees work well in teams and remain open to ideas. Can't say enough about the value of the people working here - good diversity and wonderful people all around.

Cons

Pretty stagnant with very few new hires. There's some turnover but nothing compared with some other companies. Management has to jump through HR hoops to hire people, and the same HR hoops make it difficult for people to even switch departments.

Pros

Challenging work Strong Upper Management Values Employees as People Strong line between work and personal life. Great Benefits Good perks such as workout center, full-cafeteria, clean and well-maintained work facilities. Semi-Flexible work hours

Cons

Your experience may vary depending on your manager. In general the middle-managers are quite good, but there are always exceptions to that. I've been at other companies where incompetent managers were somewhat of a norm. Not here. You may or may not like them, but they are usually effective. The collaboration between groups is minimal at best, and for some reason the culture does nothing to try and change that, but reinforces it.

Pros

Great working conditions personal health care, good salary, lots of bonus and incentive schemes, profit share, stock purchase plans rewards and recognitions etc

Cons

management were very weak and in some cases completely incompetent and frankly the fact that some of them managed to get promoted in the posotions they were in was amazing. Too many meetings and it was also hard to dismiss poorly performing employees.
