Pros

- Great opportunity to expand and stabilize a new production line for the RST OU - Well defined mission and vision - Get to work with talented people from all over the world - Great company culture

Cons

- Role and RAIC was undefined at times - I work remotely so I don’t have as many personal relationships with my coworkers as I would in office - Management and company reorganization occurred on average every 6 months - This is a large organization, so it is difficult to advance or make an impact - Very business driven and constantly looking for ways to cut costs including layoffs and travel restrictions

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.
