Pros

Some people are really nice working with, they can be great friends in your life,

Cons

Slow on everything, waste too much time and resources on many useless projects and products. Too much politics, promotion based on personal relationship. What a shame to see many bright young men are being wasted at Corning. Some mid level managers don't know what they should know, or just pretend they know, lack of vision, cronyism is not unusual. Poor location, nothing to do but work, long frigid winter, high utilities cost, high property tax, very limited houses on market, difficult to sell if you move, it is an isolated real estate market. Difficult to attract top talents, will lose ground on getting quality workers as boomers retiring. Long history is good, but it can be a burden. Look how Kodak busted...
