Pros

Solid company that will weather the recession. Low turnover provides depth of experience to draw from. Interesting opportunities to work with colleagues world-wide. Resonable benefits. Strong ethic for quality work and products. Good quality people to work with on the division level.

Cons

The corporate culture is very old school - hierarchical and control-oriented. Too much micromanaging by senior managers lead to delays, much wasted effort and poor outcomes. Slow advancement with limited opportunites to move up to higher level jobs. Favoritism by directors in providing opportuities for advancement to relatively few persons.
