Pros

Professional. Generally secure. Slow paced. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Business operates as an oligopoly with Frederico/Alberto running roughshod over the entire European commercial operation. Promotion is impossible without being in that duo's clique. Dissent is futile and career ending. Business dwindles as a result. The best people wither on the vine. Boring men with no charisma and zero passion rule the roost and they NEVER leave. Prospects for ambitious and talented people are limited unless you are able to nod a lot.

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

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.
