Pros

- Competitive pay - Inclusive culture - Stable financial performance

Cons

- Company is drive by revenue growth and shareholder value (EPS) at expense of employees. - Consistent push to fill new positions with low cost country (India, Mexico) white collar positions for NA market. - Continuous eroding of employee benefits (e.g. diminishing pension offerings, reduced 401k matching, lowering of salary bands) - R&D comes from acquisitions rather that internal development.

Pros

Competitive compensation, very decent people (always some exceptions naturally), excellent focus on hiring talent while maintaining diversity, good work/life balance; overall talented and dedicated colleagues. Lots of career movement and growth potential--highly diverse divisions

Cons

Not sure where my colleagues are coming from when they say "great benefits"?! 401K matching has been dramatically trimmed, raises are constantly delayed and Medical is great-- if you and everyone in your family are forever healthy and only set preventative health appointments; but one trip to the ER or one extended/chronic illness and you're looking at $5,000+ in out of pocket expenses before even 20% coverage kicks in. Otherwise, pretty much average benefits.
