Business Outlook
Pros
Stable environment, the culture is one of dignity and respect, it's relatively easy to make a career change (i.e. technical service to marketing, or R&D to sales, etc. - many places won't let you make such a change without having direct experience)
Cons
Sigma Aldrich is a conservatively managed company and tends to underpay. At times it's a blessing that the company is conservative and at other times it''s frustrating and seems to hold the company back from success. There is no real career development program, upward mobility often seems to be limited to those on pet projects and management favorites, depending on ones role you may find yourself under-worked and bored or completely inundated and unable to keep up
