Pros

Management training, clarity of performance measures linked to company goals, talent of fellow employees, clear performance measurement systems, great opportunities to move around the globe. Diversity of industries and businesses. Great processes in place for best practice sharing and learning between businesses. Lots of good mentoring possiblities. Company has alway had a strond focus on community service and the environment.

Cons

Lack of work life balance. Focus on performance can sometimes blind leaders to good people who have potential to be developed. If you do not start on one of the leadership programs you can be easily passed over for promotion, training and recognition.

Pros

Long term stability, good co-workers,

Cons

Heavy Bureacracy, promotions are demographically based - not merit based, scads of do-nothing people, no pipeline of key talent, pressure packed to get things done immediately, outsourcing crazy to the point that it's worthless, poor short sighted leadership - they've got their money & options and they're not going to rock the boat, below average pay for the worker bees. Short term focus inflicts permanent damage - case in point: Appliances.
