Overall Good to Great Company

Pros

Great benefits, excellent cafeteria, free parking (optional to pay for garage parking $30-60 per month but wait list requires you to be there for years). On-site dry cleaning, gift shop, barbershop, banking, etc. on main campus. Lots of clubs and activities and discounts sponsored by 3M Club. Tuition reimbursement, and Black Belt program as well as resourceful on-line training programs for business, wellness, and life.

Cons

Basic to marginal work / home balance due to stressful long hours. Strong "old boys" network they are attempting to neutralize. Limited opportunities for older seasoned workers; overall hiring younger workers. Senior management is isolated in their private dining room / gym / parking, etc. Ugly, noisy open concept offices. Can be very bureaucratic to get things accomplished and for customers.

Pros

An environment that fosters creativity and curiosity, and gives you the opportunity to learn at a fast pace and solve very interesting problems.

Cons

Not many, but I would say HIS is part a large organization which means: career growth happens at a slower rate, a lot of policies and procedures in place.
