Pros

Absolutely none ! Absolutely none ! Absolutely none !

Cons

They treat their employees like slaves, even worse than they treat their customers, and that's saying something ! When they took over Covidien they managed to destroy a really good reputation in less than a year, with poor service and unqualified staff: they fired all the experienced ones, I'm a rare exception. They regularly dip their hand into my pay-packet for almost no reason, don't care about employment law or workers' rights. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE WORST EMPLOYER I HAVE HAD IN MY 35 YEAR CAREER !

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
