Pros

Great colleagues, very good or excellent and caring managers (in the research teams), and a goodly amount of PTO days.

Cons

The pressure in all jobs is absolutely unrelenting. There is never a chance to catch up, breathe, and plan for the next big thing, BUT we are all expected to be in top form at all times and without positive feedback or reward. Morale is noticeably declining in multiple functions and offices. Raises are pathetic even when business performance is excellent, and if all you do is "hit targets" - which are set very high! - the raise you'll get is in the 2% range. A growing number of people are leaving for other companies where their talent will be recognized and rewarded fairly and regularly.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
