Pros

Salary pay is very decent. Nice people and co-workers, respectful atmosphere. Good benefit package. Long term estability.

Cons

Production line workers can easily fall into the "golden cage" effect and get stuck for years due to the confortable high salary and the scarce oportunities for growth. Some areas can be quite strict and deficient managerial behaviours ignored by higher levels of management to favour production to the detriment of the well-being of workers. A considerable number of production line workers are outsourced for a considerable period of time and fired at any time without notice, when this happens it creates a shock among co-workers who have build relationships with them and is humilliating to outsourced workers in the way they are fired, they don't even get the chance to say good bye to their co-workers.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
