Pros

Very good parent company that is stable and will likely be around for many lifetimes. Intellectually challenging environment that offers you some upward movement possibilities.

Cons

A bit stodgy and slow moving at times. Top heavy (with baby boomers) with lots of folks who have trouble handing over the reigns.

Pros

There is an open environment where everyone, regardless of title, has the same workspace. This puts everyone on a level playing field and encourages collaboration.

Cons

There could be more input into the decision making process for junior staff on issues that effect everyone; often people find out more through the grapevine than through senior management.
