Pros

Brand, Pension, you work on products that save live. Exciting work. Above average pay

Cons

Organizational bullying, unethical behavior,under resourcing leading to a blame-game culture. Poor diversity. Leadership is attempting to improve diversity but there is no real progress and so it creates an impression that they don't take it seriously and are just pandering. Inclusion criteria is even worse than the low diversity numbers. Internal jobs/promotion are distributed in a manner that resembles nepotism/favoritism rather than by performance

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.
