Pros

The employees are great for the most part, the pay is wonderful, and the benefits are incomparable. There are a lot of events for employees and their families as well, plus many different groups and extracurricular activities available to take part in.

Cons

Management doesn't listen. Often lots of overtime, including 10 hour days Monday-Friday and at least 6 hours on Saturdays. Not a lot of work life balance.

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
