Pros

Over-the-market compensation Office location Cultural diversity Several business units located in the same office gives you a chance to network outside of your department

Cons

Risk-adverse environment : you have to prove your worth on the same job for 3+ years to be given a shot at a more challenging task/project The good/skilled ones leave, the bad ones stay Ethnic bias in promotion to upper management Gender bias in promotion to middle management (women over men) Dull tasks made even duller by uninspiring management No travel budget Very political environment Weekly meeting are always the occasion to have a good laugh between employees : General Managers show how out of touch with reality they are, everyone talks about his project when clearly no one else knows what they are talking about, apathy is all around

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
