Pros

Products are amazing and in the green market they are the #1 brand! Their commitment to the environment is the very best. The research done one every product is the very greenest it can be while attaining the highest performance. People there are very nice. Co-workers will do things during and after work which are fun and relive stress. Company is very understanding about family and life priorities. Also help with career development and continuing education.

Cons

Company hold many "personal commitment" or "feel good" meeting where you are asked to contribute to the company on what YOU are going to do to commit to a stated idea, idealistic charge, or company goal. Is not tied to compensation or SMART goals but is on your own "personal charge" to make sure this happens. Company wide meetings tend to have a great amount of discussion and "this is how I feel" contributions from employees. To work here and be successful you need to be tied to the MISSION of the company in a big way. You need to really want to help the environment. It is for a select group of people. No everyone will fit in here.

Pros

Great benefits, great location. The roots of the company are still there on paper, but have not survived the culture change over the last 4 years.

Cons

The company has lost its moral compass. In the last 4 years half of its employees have quit or been fired. Constant "restructuring" means constant layoffs, and an air of abject fear. Senior leadership is simply awful. They hire style over substance -- people who are good at sitting in meetings all day talking about work, but not actually doing work (that gets outsourced to someone else). Some in leadership are nearly clown-like -- complete buffoons -- and seem to want to prove this by wearing purple clothing to match purple pens, notebooks, etc. Constantly-distracted-by-the-latest-shiny-object personalities mean no real marketing gets done, just whatever strokes their enormous egos, just like all the boot-licking yes-men they surround themselves with. No career opportunities -- once you make a certain amount, they will replace you with someone who is cheaper. Terrible ageism going on here.
