Pros

I'm on my 4th role in 8 years, so there has been a continuous supply of new opportunities, both to grow and progress in my career. Management has generally been responsive to employees. Benefits are middle of the road - good, but not great. The 401(k) match is strong. Work/life balance has been good, but this is largely based on the managers/departments I've worked in.

Cons

Not the most progressive company. It took quite a while to get same-sex partner benefits (I want to say either 2013 or 2014). Work from home is again hit and miss, depending on your department and manager. Only other concern I would say is the risk of being in a business unit that get's divested. The company is generally moving toward a coatings-centric company, so I've lost co-workers to other companies as their business unit is sold and they become part of another company.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
