Pros

Some departments have good leaders. They genuinely care about doing a good job and making the company a great place to work. These leaders are inclusive, open and yet demanding in a fair way. Fantastic manufacturing capabilities (not necessarily the cheapest, but quality is excellent)

Cons

Too political & US-centric. Too focused on processes, getting approvals & managing upwards, instead of coming up with the next big thing. The company is resting on the laurels of past glories.
