Pros

Good name on resume still Interesting technologies Cool labs and smart people Good international growth

Cons

Extremely slow to recognize and adapt to change - at risk of being becoming irrelevant in US Very outdated technology systems, processes and skill sets Limited advancement, long, long waits for promotions, emphasis on lateral moves, many dead ends No real marketing expertise Even the interior is a weird flashback to what what the 1950s looked like, and many current employees were probably working there then (40+ years of service not uncommon, while employees under the age of 40 quite uncommon)

Pros

Movement between jobs. OK salary, Good people to work with. Many opportunities if in the right division. Great undetrstanding of the markets if in the right divisions.

Cons

A history of poor marketing. Many dead end jobs. If you are in the wrong division, life can be difficult. Rewards for not sticking to the poor divisions to make them better.
