Pros

big company benefits and the knowledge that many of the products that make it to market are some of the best in the industry.

Cons

They went from being a leader in the 90s and early 2000 to completely and utterly destroying the work environment after the merger in 2010. Needless to say there's nothing left of what was once a great company and life is much like that of any drone worker in a bee hive.
