Pros

Great learning environment, great people, beautiful facilities (where they have spent the money for it), and reasonable benefits. Sometimes good, bigly good.

Cons

Constant turnover due to low pay for high performers. Demoralizing goals from Geneva make it obvious they don't care about employees. Complete disconnect between business line local leadership and global leadership. Idiotic and wasteful sales and marketing system. No foresight regarding direction of the business/industry, future planning, etc.
