Pros

Great people if you are on the right teams- mainly the few remaining groups that continued the family culture established by the Galvins' in the 1980's and 1990's, which is one of true camaraderie and accomplishment. These last few hold-outs are productive yet keep work fun. The work-life balance is also good.

Cons

The company has turned on itself. Constant headcount reductions and unclear, and often conflicting direction from upper mgmt has reduced morale to an all-time low. Manufacturing is being sold off as well as most of its property. Upper mgmt has incentives to raise the stock price regardless of long-term impact. Rumor is also CEO has a huge parachute to sell the company (which has been up for sale for years). Raises, if provided, are around 2% with benefits continuing to decline and increase in cost (more than the 2% raise). They want to attract "young talent", which is rather unlikely due to lack of raises and benefits- so it is probably just an excuse to eliminate anyone that has experience with a higher salary.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
