Pros

Impressive headquarters with doctor, gym, credit union, cafeteria and even a gas station on campus. Mostly good people. Career advancement opportunities for driven individuals.

Cons

Big company with big headaches. Trying to become global player comes with a fair share of growing pains. Uninspired innovation. Lack of a clear strategy based on current market trends is heavily impacting the future of the company.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
