Pros

Diverse products allowing pursuit of different careers. Many national and international sites giving opportunities to move. Strong focus on high tech products - jet engines and flight guidance/management systems - military and commercial products. There are reasonable training opportunities and a reasonable support for initiatives such as Six Sigma and Lean. If you take the initiative and know what you are doing, build consensus and get the right level of support it is possible to move the needle on things you initiate/believe in - and not just follow Leadership initiatives. There us a huge gap in the demographics - lots of 20+ year folk, many younger people but few "middle managers" in the 10 -15 year range - so opportunnities will be growing as teh old guard retires.

Cons

It's a big corporation and the better you are at your job the more work you get. Slackers get to cruise. Cost of benefits far outstripping salaries. No respect for company service - they will cram someone with 10, 15, 20 years service in the same cubicle as someone who just joined the company - usually both of them in the same cubicle. Corporate policies are followed only when convenient - rules say you fly business class if a flight is over 8 hours, bosses say "fly in the back". Of course this only applies if you don' fly on one of the many corporate jets that the "leaders" fly around in.

Pros

Some genuinely nice coworkers, that deserve better. Sometimes provide free food BUT consists of unhealthy options.

Cons

Extremely poor communication from management. Non existent most of time. When they do communicate, you are met w/ lies. Care about profit/numbers at the expense of employee health. Impossible production expectations without enough personnel. Management questions everyone but themselves. Equipment shortage and issues impact production as well. But blame is placed on production staff. Toxic coworkers that will get on the case of new workers for not being robots that operate non-stop. Depressing and loud environment, along w/ possible chemical exposure. Low pay and small raises. HR cares about business needs, not individuals. Stretching required every hour. Optional at first, but then management started enforcing. Computers and systems always slow and having issues. Language barrier. Diversity is great, but this can cause miscommunication w/ those who don't speak good English.
