Pros

Financially stable, good benefits and worklife balance. Talented people throughout organization. Vast resources, strong belief in safety and quality control

Cons

The company innovates from outside by purchasing companies and technology instead of taking advantage of their employees vast knowledge and abilities. Management decisions are often kept secret and information is not shared freely in terms of organizational goals and research pipeline which creates an unpleasant political atmosphere. To survive here, you need lots of friends in management to tell you what is going on otherwise what you don't know will hurt you.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
