Pros

For a software professional, software is its primary business. There is opportunity to work on many different projects, and on many different platforms. Agile development really exists here. The healthcare industry is challenging, and there's no shortage of work that needs to be done. Interaction with customers is both educational and rewarding. The local history of the company is very interesting. If you like a multi-cultural work experience, there are people working here from all over the world. The size of the parent company gives the opportunity to move around and try other jobs. While benefits are shrinking, they are still better than many other companies.

Cons

Management is short-term focused. They decide to do one thing, then oops, that was wrong. Stop everything. Let's do this instead. Some management is very sleazy and back-handed. People are afraid, and will never speak up.

Pros

Excellent benefits package — flexible PTO, strong 6% 401(k) match, and solid health insurance coverage. Overall a stable, well-known employer.

Cons

Bloated headcount with poorly defined roles in manufacturing — many employees lack clear work scope. Heavy corporate politics with leadership positions held by individuals lacking industry expertise or best-practice knowledge.
