Pros

Impressive headquarters with doctor, gym, credit union, cafeteria and even a gas station on campus. Mostly good people. Career advancement opportunities for driven individuals.

Cons

Big company with big headaches. Trying to become global player comes with a fair share of growing pains. Uninspired innovation. Lack of a clear strategy based on current market trends is heavily impacting the future of the company.

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
