Pros

Salaries tend to be fair for the industry.

Cons

Their ratings and ranking system has major problems. It is consistently used by management to trim the workforce of older workers so they can hire younger recent graduates at lower salaries. Older employees are considered to have lower" potential" due to their age. Most non-managerial employees retire between 55 and 60 because they receive ever more negative annual reviews.

Pros

The compensation is great. My salary has grew 33% in 18 months with the company and continues to be trending upward, even in the current economic downturn. The work is challenging and the opportunities are amazing. I mentioned I like to travel and they have sent me all over the world. I have been to 5 different countries since I have started and seem to find more and more reasons to travel. Working on world class projects that you can read about in the papers gives me a sense of accomplishment. The people I work with are very intelligent which makes the my day and work week more enjoyable.

Cons

The politics can be overwhelming but if you can play the game it can help your career.

Pros

Pay of course. The name means something; means you are successful. (But thats it)

Cons

Lacks Diversity Big Time (not just color, personality and just flat out differences) Very cold environment and not people friendly. Has few support networks for minorities and younger people; most of which are poorly organized and lacks leadership. Needs some re-vamp to the ranking system (I think everyone agrees to this one) Training - well there is none in my opinion; ur just winging it! Young engineers are expected to be politicians and you know what funny money is early on; I like to be the innovator so you can play monopoly in the corner by yourself. Realized that most people die two years after retiring (if you work at a plant like I do)...uhh not a happy thought!
