Pros

Pay, Interesting product, High tech field, that's it

Cons

Toxic work environment; management is run by bullies who harrass their own team; top performers are leaving and what is left is cutthroat management who isn't concerned about the company but their own political agenda

Pros

Great 401k and benefits. Competitive salary. Management has been sincerely interested in employee development and will invest in you if you are willing to take initiative. Innovation focused company. Will let you run with a good idea if you feel like champion-ing it. I have strong positive impression of upper management in It in Pittsburgh area and in my direct supervision

Cons

German company so sometimes I have conference calls around 6 or 7:00 AM. Some opportunities for advancement might require relocation. I am still not sure about the Monsanto acquisition
