Pros

Great benefit package, very good salary for the area I work in, great executive leadership. Lots of great co-workers and contributors.

Cons

You have to be a "favorite" to get promoted or get any sort of extra responsibilities that might lead to a promotion. I've been working here for several years but don't get any sense that my career is going anywhere - I'm just spinning my wheels. Any time I try to ask to get any extra rseponsibility or a promotion, it gets shot down before I basically even get a chance. And I am one of the top performers in my department.

Pros

Great and known company brand. Company car.......

Cons

Very poor training, manager(s) are no where to be found unless it's to address something negative, ambiguous direction and insultingly low pay. They say travel about 40% of the time, it's actually about 75%. Interview process takes 2 to 4 months. Your on an island with little to no help and when you do finally get some "help" you're made to feel inferior for not knowing and having to ask. Weirdest and most backwards company I have ever worked for! You are a # to them, that is all.

Pros

Best product with a lot of potential. A good place as a starter job. You will get to learn a lot. You will find examples of the good and the bad. Try to work on projects with cross site collaboration.

Cons

Leadership does not value knowledge. Giant silos here. No cross team collaboration. Everyone is trying to save their jobs at the expense of doing the right thing for the product. Management takes feedback from the employees but does not act on them. There is only a smoke screen that they are acting on the feedback. Pleasing your boss is more important than doing the right thing. I have seen the culture deteriorate over the years. Growth only if you are friends with a few select people in the management. People having the power to take important decisions haven't taken any effort to learn about the product, but still try to micromanage.
