Pros

Good people, responsible company, challenging and rewarding work.

Cons

Big company, so lots of silos and organizational resistance to change. Also, because its so large, there are many standard processes and procedures that are just accepted as the way its done. Those standards are good for driving commonality, but they tend to hinder improvements and innovation as new employees don't have to take the time to learn why they're doing something, rather they're just told how to do it. There needs to be a better way to bring new ideas in and encourage individual contributors to approach each problem with an eye toward efficiency and creating value for the company and its customers.

Pros

Career opportunities, diversity of the workforce, global teams. An employee can move form Aircraft engines to credit cards to water desalination if they so desire, this is the value of a conglomerate. Then they can move from India to the USA to Singapore. The career training is second-to-none IMHO.

Cons

By design some bureaucracy naturally exists in a company this size, so if the expectation is that all decisions and processes are nimble, one need to gauge their expectations accordingly.

Pros

Great company that looks great on your resume. The have a corporate culture that is lived and understood by every employee. They offer pleanty of training which is something you can learn from and experience you can walk away with.

Cons

Extremely large company where it is easy to get lost in the enormity of the organization. Managers are hit or miss as with any organization. If you are a temperary employee you can find yourself on your own much of the time with little guidance and support.
