Pros

Stability, benefits, smart people, well respected products/brands. Big company with lots of different areas and opportunities if you know how to navigate. Corp HQ is beautiful with a Caribou Coffee onsite

Cons

Corporate politics, size of organization makes it difficult to make impact. Change is slow. Diversity and culture seem superficial. Real connections are difficult to develop and maintain since things are constantly changing (people move from role to role quickly)

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
