Pros

- One of the few long-established corporations truly strive for technical innovation and refuse to reduce to a commodity business. - Its highly diversified product portfolio contributed to good job security, especially during the late economic downturn. - You can always find someone who is knowledgeable in an area you are interested in. They ALWAYS offer help. I've heard this is not true in many other large companies. - Seminars and classes keep you fresh. - Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

- The downside of diversification is that human and capital resources are stretched thin in some areas. It can be hard to get things done effectively when you don't have a critical mass. - Stability can mean less dynamic, but it is very different from one business section to another.
