Pros
Interesting work Opportunities to advance if in the right departments Recent emphasis on work-life balance Workplace amenities for those interested in them: cafeterias, gyms, onsite healthcare Good benefits Compensation is generally reasonable, (can depend on department - con)
Cons
Recent bell curve ratings is causing morale problems, works against stated values of "people" and "collaboration", the system assumes that someone who has worked up to engineer 4, for example, and who is rated in the lowest 2-3% of E4's is not a valuable employee and needs to get their act together or find employment somewhere else, devalues experience and aggregate knowledge Communication has become condescending when addressing changes which employees might consider other than positive Leadership can come across as out of touch Opportunities for advancement and salary adjustment can vary by department
