Good Salary. Mid Level Management team is professional, have good attitudes, and treat employees fairly.

Reductions in Force every year even when profit margins are acceptable. Company is prioritizing growth in emerging markets and not investing in products for US markets. i.e. reverse innovation.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
