Pros

Great people that embrace company values Great benefits -- best I've ever seen, especially in manufacturing Highly profitable Interesting products/industries

Cons

Unfortunately due to Wall Street pressure, they are moving away from the core values that made them so successful through the years. The close to the customer, decentralized, entrepreneurial approach is sadly a thing of the past. They have yielded to large divisions that are losing the family feel. But, hey, at least they are finding synergies to keep their short-term promises to Wall Street.

Pros

Corporate strategy is clear. The guardrails are set / clear as well. The how you do it is up to each business units discretion. Divisional leadership gets to run the business and push ownership and accountability down to all levels. 85 business units means lots of room for advancement / learning opportunities. Not hierarchical, no ivory tower, no politics...really lives diversity and inclusion compared to any other company I worked at.

Cons

Sometimes the business units run super lean with resources and sales / marketing spend
