Pros

A lot of autonomy, self Motivation, allowed to think and make decisions, amazing co workers Loyal long term friendships First line managers are solid support of staff

Cons

Horrible horrible moral, long term employees being let go so bean counters can tell investors it is working, with moral being so low and people so worried it is no longer team effort it has become every person for themselves, worst of all it has been over 8 years since we have gotten raises and bonus structure is so hard to determine and pre Determined no matter how good your review is So cost of living goes up and employed keep getting shafted The company I loved working for is no longer a place of any happy employee

Lots of surface changes, but no real change

Pros

For those on whom the sun shines, it is a great company to work for - global opportunities, competitive salary, short-term and long-term incentives, and extremely interesting work in a complex global organization. 4 weeks vacation to start.

Cons

If not a designated "favorite" of an executive, very difficult to progress in your career, get much visibility, or have interesting / challenging work - or even to receive a raise / promotion. What is challenging is (1) surviving the political machinations and (2) the constant organizational change designed to make the company more efficient. However, these changes do nothing because, in the end, no one is ever held accountable for not meeting project goals, deadlines, or budget. Company also tries to balance its budget on the backs of its (non-executive) employees, while executives do not seem to share the cost-cutting burden.
