Pros

Amazing talent. Staff are smarter and more interesting than you even realize. Company brand is legendary the world over. Job opportunities are truly global if you have the interest and the ambition.

Cons

The company is a shadow of its former self. No longer the industry technical leader it was for decades. Benefits greatly reduced from previous years and continue to shrink. US workforce less diverse than it was 20 years ago. Constant reorganizations mean always having to find a new job or fighting to keep the one you just got.
