Good Company

Pros

The company rewards people who are willing to go out and build their carreer. People that have had issues here often sit around and complain that no one has "given them a chance" or "provided them direction and mentorship". The reality is if you're willing to go out and find your opportunities, they are there and management will support you.

Cons

In a big company it's easy to get overlooked and though leadership may recognize issues it's difficult to solve them immediately due to the size of the firm. It's tough to turn such a big ship.

Pros

Good benefits for the type of company they are. Lots of good, friendly people. Good equipment. Free parking. Clean restrooms.

Cons

Too much focus on short-term profits without any regard to business strategy and staff retention. Their matrix structure is disfunctional due to lack of clarity with regard to the roles of "leaders" and severe loss of experienced, competent leadership.

Pros

truly collaborative environment wants to be cutting edge in technology willing to train employees strong senior management willing to admit and seek to solve problems grows organically rather than by acquisition low turnover, staff sticks around

Cons

too much tolerance of non-performers, both individuals and offices trusted certainly individuals too much some long time managers (lifers) don't have an outside perspective to compare things too
