Pros

Very stable environment with positive long-term growth over the past 30 years. No one normally leaves the company for another position cause the benefits are good and company is stable.

Cons

BIG sized company now through all the acquisitions over the years that some folks get lost in the numbers. As noted above, no one leaves so growth opportunities are there, but limited.

Pros

Entrepreneurial atmosphere. "Lean but now mean". Flex-time. Great benefits. Feel empowered. If you see something that needs to be done or a better way to do it, go for it and you will be rewarded. Great people. Very little attrition. Profitable, stable company.

Cons

This is a benign dictatorship, no democracy here. You need to be able to live with senior management overriding your decisions. You will wear multiple hats.
