Pros

Good work life balance, good benefits, great facilities, outstanding people to work with.

Cons

Very slow career growth (in R&D), below industry median compensation, conservative culture, averse to taking risks and still a Mid-western company vs. a Global company. Marketing oriented company, technical strenghts not valued as much.
