Pros

Good company if you get connected with a growing department . My managers were mindful of the need for work / life balance, as long as you got the job done. It is best to change jobs every 2 - years.

Cons

The liberal values of the top management are forced down through the ranks. If you have more conservative values, you may find your self at odds with company policy. Diversity for the sake of diversity sometimes seems to be a higher priority than product quality, cost and performance.

Annual lay offs and restructuring

Pros

Great values and work life balance. People care about their colleagues and communities. It makes it for a comfortable working environment. There is no time-card mentality and it is all about your performance. Individual development is strongly advised and the company will help you grow.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Process process process. Things are not fast. Company is falling behind and is becoming a fast follower (or worse) due to high risk aversion. Too many lay-offs: In the last 5 years there have been 2 major corporate wide reductions in force. However, in varying departments of the company there have been major restructuring which has led to people leaving. It has become a major expectation that by Q3 and Q4, the company will announce some sort of restructuring. Individual development and performance based results work well at entry level to mid-level management. At senior managers and directors, it really becomes about who you know. Very political.
