Pros

If you are retiring or are looking for a government kind of profile

Cons

Leadership has an important model of living with ambiguity. This has the foremost quality and leaders across organization especially in Asia Pacific like to hold ambiguity and not pass on the clarity to juniors

Great people, pretty good benefits, non-competitive salary.

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone in the science field I've worked with have been easy to work with and get along well. Benefits such as health insurance, 401k and stock purchase matching (up to a certain percent), seem pretty good.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive, especially at lower levels, and raises are pretty much non-existent. There's also no work-life balance, to speak of. You're not really expected to have a life outside of work and the company.
