Pros

Long history of innovative products. Stable management teams. Most employees have a true concern for environment. Global company with global product reach makes for interesting markets. People with good ideas can bring them forward.

Cons

Since the management is stable and the organization is flat, there is little upward mobility. Though there is a call for innovation, some middle managers prefer to maintain the staus quo to ride out until retirement, thus they can appear to be un-supportive of new ideas.

Pros

I have no pros that I can think of

Cons

I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
