Pros

Good people, process and team alignment.

Cons

Can get lost in the crowd, competition for advancement is rough, and can get pigeon-holed into your role. Advancement based on popularity not skill.

Pros

Globally recognized and diverse product line. Great company for individuals with the end justifies the means mentality.

Cons

Not a true team environment. Individual achievement promoted even at cost of counter productivity to team members. Lack of true leadership. No loyaltiy to employees only to profit and self agenda. Time and cost valued greater than meeting consumer requirements. Passes increase cost of benefits to employees and reduces benefits to offset company cost.

Pros

Very focus on professional development. Overall great products!

Cons

Very process oriented and decision making is often very slow due to the need of many stakeholders alignment. Promotion are given priorities to their own management trainees.
