Pros

The health benefits are good.

Cons

The managers in our department all need to work on people management skills. A large fraction of our job is spent covering you’re a@# and blaming other departments for what goes wrong. We are micromanaged, expected to come in exactly on time and work more than eight hours a day. They have a high turnover of people. They promise tuition reimbursement that does not exist. Had I know all this before coming to work for this company, I would have stayed where I was before.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
