Pros
- Interesting industry - in healthcare, you have the opportunity to know that the work you're doing can help to change lives. - Name recognition - a big global company that most people know (even if you do have to prompt them by saying "you know, the light bulbs") - Global company. There is opportunity to work in various places around the world, if desired.
Cons
- Management makes decisions without understanding real impact on employees. Most often, - Compensation does not reflect industry standard or personal effort. Salaries are generally below average. Bonus structure continues to get worse. Much of the compensation plan is based on factors that only Sr. Management can impact. Individual contribution is not valued for salary consideration. - "Good ol' guys" club is apparent. Long stints at the company mean that people who shouldn't be promoted are given management roles because their friends help them along. You have to tread lightly to be sure you don't offend the wrong people. Lots of game playing.
