Pros

the mission seems great - working to help save lives, technology is neat, campus facilities are nice, work hours are reasonable, big company benefits

Cons

very little respect for the individual working at the company - management will talk about the mission but dump people by the side of the road based only on monetary reasons.

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.
