Pros

Lots of opportunities to be a global citizen and see the world. Can change units and learn an entirely different business without leaving the company. Privately held so can make longer-term decisions.

Cons

They haven't figured out how to retain employees in a commodity business, when companies like google and Facebook have true employment value propositions. The value used to be in lifetime employment, but they are making short-sighted decisions.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
