Pros

Great products; knowledgeable industry experts; good salary and benefits; significant opportunities to have great international exposure in a true, multinational company that has expansive operations in all corners of the world.

Cons

Difficult to climb the company ladder as an American, especially on a commercial or general management track. Company has gradually been transitioning over to French, centralized management from Paris or Switzerland. Sometimes too heavy a short-term and technical focus. Takes forever to make or approve decisions. Too many corporate re-organizations.
