Pros

Good salary and bonus structure; convenient location; nice office building

Cons

Change is terribly slow. Organizational structure (a regional, rather than functional structure) is not at all efficient due to duplication of across US, EU, Japan. Many departments work in silos. Senior management lacks courage to make the necessary changes to company into the future. Systems are not harmonized across the globe, and are ancient! Most business processes need to be improved. “Globalization” is a fallacy.
