Pros

I worked at Schlosser Forge, part of Firth Rixson, which was bought out by Alcoa/Arconic about a year or so before I left. It was a seamless transition. The team at Schlosser stayed in place, and was a strong friendly team to work for. Arconic allowed for more flexibility in benefits and locations, and were willing to allow for more job opportunities.

Cons

I was not under Arconic long enough to notice any real cons. That said, nothing significantly improved with the takeover either.
