Pros

Have a breadth of leadership experiences across the different divisions as well as provides great training. Very much a culture of learning.

Cons

You will need to navigate the political matrix in order to progress to the next level. You will need to not only impress your boss and your boss' boss, but you will also need to impress other members of senior mgmt that would participate in your promotion review. So unless you have regular interaction with these other members of management, your boss will need to be very persuasive and lobby for your cause way in advance. Work life balance has also been declining over the last few years.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
