Pros

The company is stable, committed to admirable business ethics, and unusually loyal to its employees. It's well suited to those who want to make a long term commitment to a single company.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical, paternalistic, and old-fashioned business structure with many levels of management. Despite the usual lip service to "innovation," the company is highly resistant to change. Processes and tools tend to be many years behind the times. Non-engineers are considered support staff and their contributions are not taken seriously.
