Pros

1. Kind and caring people, my manager the best one I've had in my career. 2. Change management orientation, if you have an idea and the resources, people are willing to try new ideas. 3. Great benefits and compensation offered even without negotiation at the time of job offer.

Cons

1. Human resources are very difficult to come by, the company runs extra lean on staff, so as a project manager it was difficult to get the resources needed to implement any recommended changes and/or projects. 2. Worst internal transfer policy I have ever seen. You have to stay in your current position for a year (2 years for Sales), you must notify your manager when you start applying internally (and they receive email notice as well from HR) and there is a cap on how much you can increase salary in moving internally (but that cap is only mentioned, not disclosed). 3. Company culture of procrastination rather than planning. Regularly pushing a deadline ambiguously somewhere down the road rather than buckling down to get things done.

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.
