Pros

The pay is good. Coworkers are young and passionate. Benefit package is very good compared to other American(foreign) companies in here.

Cons

Poor management. They seem to give you the 'flexibility' to try many a creative way but later it turns out that perhaps in fact the managers are not so sure about what to do. A lack of direction. Not so many opportunities to get promoted internally as they claim. A lack of job matrix. You are not really going anywhere after a few years.

Career advancement can be slow, with limited opportunities for promotion or lateral movement in some orgs. Compensation growth tends to fall behind. Several org changes following Emerson acquisition.
