Pros

Pay is good. Probably an OK place to start an engineering career

Cons

Not really a strong engineering company. If not promoted to management, most engineers leave within 5 years. The central engineering group doesn't have any pilot plants, labs, or rooms full of test equipment. And they have been cutting benefits for the last 10 years.
