Pros

Decentralization means you get to experience many different aspects of the company, since they are run like small businesses. You aren't stuck with your "job description". As a coworker put it, you "wear many hats" at ITW. As a result, there is not a lot of layers in management, and thus a lot less red tape. Since you get to do a lot, the job is rarely boring. There is always something going on. Great for starting a career because you build a variety of experience very quickly. The benefits are good, and the people are good to work with.

Cons

Decentralization. You are expected to do a lot of things that aren't in your "job description", and you are expected to do a lot, period. Not many layers up and down to advance.
