Pros

- Great opportunity to expand and stabilize a new production line for the RST OU - Well defined mission and vision - Get to work with talented people from all over the world - Great company culture

Cons

- Role and RAIC was undefined at times - I work remotely so I don’t have as many personal relationships with my coworkers as I would in office - Management and company reorganization occurred on average every 6 months - This is a large organization, so it is difficult to advance or make an impact - Very business driven and constantly looking for ways to cut costs including layoffs and travel restrictions

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.
