Pros

Profit sharing, lots of opportunites for engineers, many long term employees. This is a stable company

Cons

A bad manager will ruin your time here. There are good ones but if you get stuck with a bad one good luck going anywhere else. No ability to work from home, questioning when children are sick, and favoritism are just of the few issues.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunity to grow since the company is so huge. They have several Business Groups that you can transfer to in case you're not happy with your current group. They value their employees and tries their best to provide what the employees want.

Cons

I don't know if it's really a significant cons but you don't get to put a face in the name. Since the company is global, you get to work with a lot of different people from defferent countries whom you will never see in person unless you get to visit their site or they visit yours, which seldom happens.
