Pros

Great coworkers Great hardware and software for Engineering workstations. Excellent internal technical support staff. Org is flat, wide, open, and transparent - no silos. Little politics until you reach middle and senior management. Open to tele-working. Care deeply about the usability of their software - very customer focused.

Cons

Easy to get pidgeon-holed in one area. Hard to stay current on emerging open source technologies.

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
