Pros

Positive atmosphere, good vibes between employees.

Cons

Very slow decision making process. Depending on the department, some "will come" promises might never arrive and leave you stuck for more than a year. If you are career oriented, it might not be the best place to work basically because you would wait too long for a change-depending on the department you are in. Top/mid management leadership skills need improvement.

Pros

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

Cons

Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
