Pros

Great flexibility and opportunities to expand your career path. Compensation appears fair to date. Some other SPU's and BU's are moving ahead well!

Cons

Unfortunately, the performance unit (ILS) I am in now has been "right-sizing" (as it should) for the last few years and continues to do so. Like the direction we are going, but taking too much time to get there. The pain in doing it slow is killing morale. Also, sales incentive pay plan changes in recent years have been ill-advised and created big problems. Historic poor leadership at PU level has created a big whole to climb out of.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
