Pros

- good benefits - good work life balance - work from home - annual bonuses

Cons

- if another division missed their quarterly numbers, they'll cut US "High Cost" first just to make their EBIT - slowly cutting US workforce over the last 2-3 years - no RnD expansion in the US - they don't encourage continuing education - lack of communication from HQ and executives - Lack of respect for RnD because they don't directly generate revenue - make due with the tools you've got. don't ask for any new technology to help you do your job better
