Pros

The company has many great products. Senior leaders are willing to invest in acquisitions for new products and technologies. Company is financially stable and sound. Good work life balance.

Cons

Limited ability to develop products in-house. R&D process is slow to non-existent. Limited upward mobility unless you are inner circle. Few senior leaders able or willing to make a decision by themselves, almost always seek group thought/agreement before moving forward. Limited career development plan. Talking points sounds good, but an actual plan clearly communicated to the employees would be nice.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
