Pros

IT started as one of the best companies to work for, by far. But market dynamics and the new exec team focused too much on cost cutting. Every year, something would be cut. A benefit here, a tax break there, ESPP, long term shares. Eventually the pay & benefits were simply not competitive and i got fed up and left for over double my former compensation. Combine that with some toxic bosses over the years, and, well, the best will leave for greener pastures.

Cons

Too many idiots. Toxic leaders afraid of real talent. People like that go into big companies to hide. Amgen is one such company. Lots of people from B and C rated schools, and it shows, in way too many positions. A's hire other A's. B's hire C's, and C's hire F's. That's Amgen.
