Pros

Good work environment, excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

Very political, it's who you know and "not" how much you do. Oh, did you work at GE .... Then You're part of the good ole boy club. Marketing holds the power to fire, never say "no" or "disagree" or you will suddenly be offered an "or else" transfer to Siberia. Product engineering and operations will not stand behind you if you go against marketing by trying to enforce their own company policy. If you have an opinion you better keep it to yourself and if you're over 50 your too old to be trainable and you'll be lucky if you make it more than 3 years. Be careful with relocation, they may cry recession and change the reimbursement rules.

Pros

Great company culture with an ethical focus. Able to maintain a good work-life balance and move up the company if you desire.

Cons

Extremely technical work environment which can be a negative if you're not technically inclined. Great starting salary but low bonuses. Two rounds of layoffs in the past four years.
