Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, paid holidays

Cons

Could be understaffed from time to time. Management doesn't listen to employees and micro-manages way too much. Employees make it a tolerable place to work

Pros

Agile working, great training ground for processes and systems and building best in class technical foundation. Strong credibility in Sustainability and as positive Corporate citizen

Cons

Large company facing lots of shareholder pressure and expectations in mature markets to grow. This leads to additional emphasis on restructuring and cost savings in short term to maintain expectations on financial performance in absence of strong growth.

Not the company it once was

Pros

Good benefits - medical, dental, 401k match, what once was a pension is gone. Still a strong sense of culture, socially and environmentally conscious company

Cons

Changes in corporate structure, gigantic global amounts of red tape, commoditization of pretty much everything, layoffs on scheduled basis, pandering to stockholders at expense of loyal employees
