Pros

Good work life balance. I had 26 years with the company several different jobs in different business units. Through them all the company was good with benefits and the ability to work at whatever time was convenient as long as work was delivered when needed.

Cons

There are always layoffs several times a year, I was able to avoid them for 26 years and they were never clear on the reason for the need to remove people.
