Pros

Internal sense of community & belonging, helping customers globally, strong product set, financial strength, international scope, great health benefits, generous giving campaign, free software.

Cons

Increasing sense of distrust by employees toward the company, ineffective senior management that is more like a country club with no accountability, confusing strategies in mobility and search, internal politics, an ever-expanding bureaucracy and rule set, complete disconnection between corporate and field sales.
