Pros
Incredible, caring people. Commitment to work/life balance. Generous compensation (for the area). This really was a great company, a blend of "old economy" manufacturing and operational sense with "new economy" innovation and customer-focus. The company is (was) dedicated to making an impact on their employees and their community: "We the employees ARE Lexmark" used to be true.
Cons
It's difficult to overstate how lost this company is right now. The Kofax carpetbagger took ES, ravaged it, and now Lenexa is a ghost town. We're up for sale. Nobody wants to buy us. We have a bloated R&D spend, but they won't cut managers, just employees. Managers still act like nothing is wrong, like "this too shall pass". Not this time
