Pros

You are in front and make a significant difference in emerging markets and budding technology not only in the US but also globally.

Cons

I think that work can be improved by having additional benefits to the employees especially discounts among existing programs and products possibly similar to Microsoft employees.

Pros

Customer oriented, Lean concepts applications, innovative.

Cons

Too fixated with military, automotive or engineering background. Managers right out of college lack basic leadership skills. Strike a balance between proven experience and young talent.

Pros

growth, growth, growth - growth brings tremendous opportunity to move up if you perform well long term vision - Jeff B makes it clear that short term stock market fluctuations do not matter ability to make a change - if you have a good idea and are persistent, you can change a lot

Cons

work life balance, because of growth lot of ambiguity and corresponding stress and long hours. On the whole pretty satisfying experience with good opportunity for growth - but the cost is personal life and work life balance
