Pros

Broad depth of an innovative product portfolio. Deep pockets for growth potential. High level of professionalism. I think there is a real desire to want to push this company forward, so the potential is certainly in place.

Cons

Too many chiefs at the helm, and an obvious gap in the communications pipeline back down to the real work force. Inconsistent messages relayed from management to the field from qtr. to qtr. (chasing numbers strategy) Poor overall morale among the sales force because of uncertainty within market, and therefore a lack of confidence in the senior management. This company seems to be a perfect example of "bigger doesnt always mean better."

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
