Pros

flexibility is good, great pay and benefits, they really do care about providing a great working environment.

Cons

processes are insanely complicated, can be customized too much. Its hard enough to build good products without the overhead, and I mean overhead of the internal processes. never has it taken so much work to accomplish so little.

Pros

Decent benefits, important products, seems to care about patients, some nice people to work with, interesting projects, international scope provides learning and good exchange.

Cons

As others have said, little opportunity for advancement or development of skill sets by working in other related areas. Unable to think creatively or take calculated risks. Opportunities and assignments kept by managers for themselves to grow or secure their own position. Only a few, favored anointed golden men or women get the attention, the assignments to cement their careers and escape the layoffs time after time. Management was totally deceptive about layoffs, kept them out of the news (although competitors make public announcements) and gave no notice whatsoever. Severance was minimal and other related requirements onerous. Although happening throughout the industry, many very smart, capable, productive, educated contributors with excellent reviews have been laid-off.
