Pros

Pretty relaxed atmosphere. Unlimited sick time, and nice cubicles. Pride of working for a major multinational corporation with a great reputation. Fairly relaxed atmosphere and no dress code. Business class air travel when on overseas business. Free cookies and treats at various places throughout the building. Free parking.

Cons

Operation is falling apart, the result of a lack of product development and declining sales. Limited training opportunities. Management won't match oil and gas salaries and professionals are leaving for oil and gas firms. Old technology and no clear plan to update the product line. No 'excitement' of working for a growing company, and hence, limited opportunities for advancement.

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.
