Pros

Good benefits, great if your progressive otherwise not so much. They have rewards for jobs well done but still will not hesitate to use you as the company sees fit. Being transfer or eliminate jobs.

Cons

Too many meetings that yield no results. Poor innovation doing to many things and not doing any of them well. Prices are remaining to high in retail markets . Are not going to be able to compete. Getting rid of experienced workers thinking that will solve there financial turn downs, which is a poor idea. They are laying people off and they are denying it. Beware of excepting employment with them.

Pros

Easy life, slow project movements, not hard to please management, good benefits

Cons

Being in Minnesota, very hard to convince management to do something new, all the major projects taken by people already at high positions. Mentoring is only a name and followed by few senior level scientists. Most of the scientists are looking to become part of important projects and have their name connected to them. New employees (doesn't matter how good they are) are always seen as secondary inventors, even if everything was their idea. Huge race in technologists to come up with new ideas, so lot of instances of stealing ideas, snatching credits etc.
