Pros

Competitive pay Great benefits Good learning experience for the highly motivated Many "extracurricular" activities for those who are interested Opportunity to work with people in other countries

Cons

- Performance reviews use a bell curve assumption that there is always an underperformer - Increasing use of outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring has resulted in less of a sense of teamwork - Unrealistic timelines make the company's lip service to work/life balance just so much hot air - Siloing and lack of communication among functional areas - High risk of burnout and resulting health problems that are then blamed on the employee - Managers tend to hire people of their own race/ethnicity - Constant reorganizations create uncertainty; processes change often and are not always documented.

Pros

401k matches at 100% upto 7% of salary, very cool truck that can be used for personal use. many good field coworkers

Cons

it's not what you know, but who you know. My supervisor cuts corners during repairs, jeopardizing patient safety, but if i don't check the right box on my service report all hell breaks loose. never saw so much butt kissing in all my life
