Pros

Good for initial training, and exposure to the industry as a whole, Potential for international travel and assignments, and working with multiple nationalities

Cons

The company has been slowly and systematically been decreasing or removing benefits, health insurance options have become significantly more expensive and less comprehensive, Pensions eliminated, profit sharing decreased. Work load increased, responsibilities increased and overall respect for the employees is at an all time low. They promise chances for advancement but will not promote qualified employees to positions they want.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
