Pros

growing company, great development opportunities, with a worldwide scope that offers chances to experience many different and stimulating cultures during your career.

Cons

Peoria IL as a headquarters location is not exactly a "draw". Also, you must be willing to relocate in order to progress - you cannot expect to climb the ladder by staying in one location.
