Pros

Established name in the industry. Well known range of consumer products. Deep pockets.

Cons

Engendered culture of bureaucratic non-value added processes, final result of which requires constant fixing. Culture of taking 33 steps where only 3 is required with almost fanatical insistence on following broken processes that at the end result in uniformal poor quality. Company is overstaffed 40-50% due to all absurd processes requiring more and more man hours with nothing to show for it at the end but wasted funds. Xenophobic culture towards foreign employees. Terrible quality food services at internal cafeteria (that smell...ugh). Depending on your building you might be exposed to 1950s plumbing and shabby offices.

Pros

They still offer a pension if you can stand it for five years

Cons

Pay is low. They changed directions frequently. Transferring within the company is almost impossible. Unless your division is laid off... then they will transfer you to avoid paying you severance.
