Pros

On a principle level policies and practices are very good. Tries to do the right things. Job safety is pretty good, the company does not let people go just to boost share price.

Cons

As bureaucratic as big companies are. A lot of overhead and unnecessary management. Heavily political at times, mediocre people advance by babbling buzzwords in right places and making promises they can't keep.

Pros

At least in the organization I work for, there is a nice collaborative environment. Most of our group is spread across the US (and Europe and Asia) yet we all seem to work very closely and follow the same objective. However I know not all organizations within the company are the same and depends on the personality of the managers.Good benefits (for a manufacturing company), good strategy at the top level of the organization, decent salaries.

Cons

Collaboration across different business units faces the same challenges as other companies. Work on enterprise initiatives is difficult when each business has their own view.
