      Pros

      Large company, potential for growth.

      Cons

      They are a large company and sometimes close profitable divisions in a region due to conditions in other Regions. It is easy to become just a number because of the size of the company. Most SR management is from UK and business philosophies sometimes vary from US.

      Pros

      Great benefits and compensation. Good middle management and front line staff. Interesting products and markets. Global scope and well resourced financially. Their competition historically hasn't been very strong. Their customers historically have had little relative power, so when market conditions are favorable they make big profits. Yet there are significant opportunitites for waste reduction.

      Cons

      French management/ personnel dominate, very political, bureaucratic and overly complicated (without reason). If you don't like to travel, don't join them. Strong technical orientation to a fault. Have been internally focused so their rate of learning is less than most organizations. Insufficient customer or competitor oriented stimulation. Personal accountability hasnot been a strong facet of the culture.
