Pros

Good pension. Professional and smart colleagues. Company pays 50% of education (as long as they feel it's relevant). As of 2017, I think they are finally fairly competitive in regard to paid vacation. Things have gotten much better since Armstrong took over as CEO.

Cons

Overly conservative in regard to both finances and culture. Too hard to get the resources needed to be effective. Need to work 50 to 60 hours/week, but even then I get further behind every week. Not a good feeling. Money is wasted on non-value-added things to appease senior management activities, such as planting new flower and plants every few months whenever the chairman visits.

The Grind

Pros

Paycheck arrives on time. Learn a lot about how to do more with less. Exposure working globally. Generally nice people in the trenches.

Cons

Fear of senior management. Incompetent leadership in IT that plays favorites/politics to the detriment of employees. Lack of investment in people and technology. Many employees "retired in place" getting their 3% every 18 months.
