Pros

Decent employer for the HQ market. Decent pay and benefits. Wide array of opportunities if the role you're in becomes routine (relatively easy to move within the company). Some ability to take risks. Collaborative environment. More than a one trick pony.

Cons

HQ campus is depressing. Remodeled buildings remind me of Star Trek Enterprise. Moving to office designs with a communial style (few walls/dividers between workspaces). "Profit Sharing" is deferred compensation...was first taken away, then returned the following year...not sure it motivates anyone. Stock options only for managers or equivalents (people generally in second half of their careers).

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
