It was great, and there are still pockets of greatness but I see most areas in decline.

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Fundamentally, they make good products and are a world class, stable company. There are a variety of jobs to do and if you work at it there is plenty of room for professional growth. The pay is comparable and fair. There are travel opportunities.

Cons

All but the very factory-centric jobs are in decline. If it's not tied to the immediate bottom line, its turning into a slow-moving bureaucratic company and its getting worse every day. That makes it difficult to make meaningful changes. There are expectations of many international late night meetings. If you don't push back and learn to control it, they will take all the time you will give them.
