Pros

Looks good on a resume, for your next job. There is still respect for the brand, unlike some other American icons as GM. Some programs for new hires are very good.

Cons

Only as good as your last project, pays to get out of your department when the getting is good, i.e. your last project was a success. Top performers are overloaded until their performace degrades to "normal". Very bad at promoting the "best people", management unable to see inverse correlation with performance of who is actually promoted. Too focussed on internal metrics, to the detriment of delivering value to client.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
