Pros

values, integrity program is real, process and systems - really tries to "get it right" even if it takes time Fantastic tradition of talent - great VPs in our division (O&G)

Cons

bureaucracy - there are models folks follow which while required to manage such a large company, limit individuality. CEO has had too many different initiatives in last 10 yrs poor investments and some very expensive acquistions that have not panned out - look at stock price 1/3 of level in 2000...almost all comparable industrial companies have exceeded their 2000 peak by now
