Pros

Good pay with decent benefits, good vacation. What we do improves/saves lives. It's a good resume builder as the name carries some cache.

Cons

Constantly cutting costs and downsizing since Ken Frazer took over as CEO. No stability for employees due to constant cuts and restructurings. The company has a very short term focus. The only strategic initiative is to cut costs. All the short term decisions will hurt the company long term. Very small budgets for continuous improvement training.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
