Pros

Global company with many opportunities for a long diverse career.

Cons

Very cyclic; will always follow the bottom line and cut as necessary to return value to the shareholders. Massive company so culture change is behind the curve.

Pros

Long term expedience gained in a major manufacturing facility for a product used globally. Senior employees gain more autonomy as you produce 'wins' for the enterprise.

Cons

Market pressures challenge you every day. If you are good at what you do, you may be 'key-holed' in a position for a long time. Sub-performing employees have lots of places to hide, so get used to it.
