Pros

The company takes good care of you very well. So if you have already worked for them over 10 years, you are probably considered a key person. As long as they would like to keep you, you should choose to stay put until retirement. The knowledge and skills you gained here is not going to be widely needed anyway.

Cons

If you are looking for new and cool stuff that can keep you excited to go to work everyday, look somewhere else. The company culture doesn't encourage innovations. However, everyone are working on their edges. Scrambling to meet deadlines and customer expectations. There is a little room for long term thinking. Everyone has to know a certain amount of project management to survive. The company feels like a big supporting team for the product they make. Not a good place to start your career, but a good place to end your career.

Pros

K-T is a good company to work for with clear roles & responsibilities, good bonus structure mapping up to CEO KPIs, and a very well organized in their product life cycle process. K-T rewards those meeting deliverables, and there is a some degree of promotion from within. Data driven company.

Cons

Can be extremely political, with different functions working against each other. Upper management does not have a lot of leadership skills managing people and often fosters conflicting objectives.
