Pros

The "work hard, play hard" motto. When it's time to work and deliver, all hands on deck. When it's time to celebrate and let loose, the folks are all in together. The company really takes care of its people. It's a 160 year old company and I am very very proud to work for them.

Cons

Nothing negative to mention. Some may say that promotions are not merit based, well I think it's subjective. You want it, you gotta work for it, and not just "work" hard, you gotta also do the homework and prepare what's necessary.
