Pros

It's a great company for those in the Mechanical and Aero Engineering field who like to be challenged with highly technical problems. They offer great educational benefits although they were better a few years ago. Other benefits are about average compared with other companies which is a bit disappointing since they had above average benefits when I started. Sick time is above average with 5 days + 5*(number of years) days per year. While vacation time is below average. Start off with 2 weeks, get 3 at 8 years, and 4 at 18, etc. The company also treats everyone about the same regardless of race and gender.

Cons

Not a great company for those in the IT field. Management is mostly made of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers who don't see the value that the IT field has to offer. As a result productivity of its Engineers are lower than it should be as many of it's Engineering processes are very manual intensive.

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
