Great benefits (except tuition reimbursement), good foundation, lacking direction and ability to change
Pros
Company with a benefit package that is on par or slightly above competitors (the exception is the tuition reimbursement policy, recent changes leave them lagging significantly behind all competitors). There are a number of different areas to work, if you want a change you can find it within the company. Some really great talent that works hard to do the right thing and make positive changes - hardest working group of people I have been associated with in 15 years in the medical device industry.
Cons
Risk averse, especially when it comes to changing something with a tie to an important person. What might have been good 10, 5, or 1 year ago may not be sufficient now, but there is an inability to make the correct choice, even with data to support the change. Extremely top heavy, wouldn't doubt if they have more Directors and Vice Presidents than they do Technicians. Layoffs every April seem to be the 'cure' for double digit returns?
