Pros

Good training, good pay, got to travel a good amount. Was given a lot of responsibility from early on. Adventure in the work environment.

Cons

Management didn't have a clue. If you were a good engineer they would work you to death. Didn't listen to any of the emplyees. If you wanted to stay where you were, you got transfered. Wanted to experience a new place, sorry nothing available anywhere in the world.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
