Pros

Highly educated scientific community in lab and engineering (manufacturing). Stable company that moves at stable to slow pace so work is not overly stressful. Highly analytical company. Global company with global opportunities.

Cons

Slow pace. Decisions not delegated down so no real ownership. Lack of accountability. Outdated work environment (face time matters vs work, gender biased, hierarchical, etc)
