Pros

Great benefits, nice location, interesting product.

Cons

Bone-headed management in Product Development with zero-tolerance for mistakes, making everyone fearful to make decisions. This is touted as Accountability. In reality, they are stuck in analysis-paralysis and can't seem to figure out what to do. New products are held up because management has blamed engineering for poor decision-making and is looking to outsource design. In reality, decision-making is the responsibility of management and out-sourcing the design can't fix poor decision-making.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
