Pros

- High level ethics - 1+1=2, no false statement from management - Salary never below avarage - Global opportunities

- Need to work in their framework - If you work for more then 8 yrs, changes are rare to getting job elsewhere - Some time you may be a victim of politics, but its universal, so accept it.

Pros

Professional team and positive attitude among department functional teams.

Cons

Lack of sharing of resources and information across departments. Ineffective communication. Not a 'authentic' buy-in related to driving the business but a 'perceived' buy-in. Professional culture varies across functional departments.

Pros

Global career opportunities, Well paying, Lots of opportunities, pay for performance company, many remote work options available, profitable, stable company

Cons

Not as much opportunity if you wish to stay in Buffalo location, old-school culture, outsourcing, jobs and departments are eliminated with little to no notice, career advancement is all on you as the company is satisfied if you do the same thing forever
