Pros

People that I work with, good teamwork. Most groups get along with each other and most of them work hard to achieve common goals.

Cons

No work/life balance and the salary is below industry average. The company push for cycle time without understanding of impact onquality. Senior management who are in charge lack understanding of people and are clueless about issues on the floor. Management use the "walk out" method to intimidate current employees. People who are promoted are yes man not necessarily the most competent people as the promotion process is inconsistent and biased.

Pros

Working at the corporate HQ, I got to know many who worked there. Walking through the corridors with a smile on my face, most people returned the favor.

Cons

It is easy to get caught up in the politics of what is expediant and easy instead of following the stated company policies. While people are not outright breaking the rules set forth, they are clearly skirting policies they should not. This practice, in turn, causes upper management to change policies that work into ones that ultimately don't because of false or skewed data.

Pros

Great company to work for prior to the news of the impending company split. The people who work there are great.

Cons

No work-life balance, getting temporary help is virtually an impossible request to fulfill at this time due to the impending company split and company-wide reorganization. The office culture is changing as some people are stressed, moving to other groups, or leaving the company, whether the decision was made by them or upper management through the company-split initiative.
