Pros

Work in certain Business Units are interesting. Could get to work on cutting edge technology. Available resources are vast. Benefits are above average.

Cons

Built in bureaucracy that cropped up in tha last few years. Interesting engineering work is limited and being outsourced. Growth is primarily through acquisitions.

Pros

Somewhat stable company with good benefits and potential to grow. There are many different groups and exposure in addition to one's own position.

Cons

Too many layers in decision making. Response to market forces takes a long time. There are too many processes and complicated to figure out.
