Pros

company name recognition in the industry

Cons

-a lot of old timers, having like retired jobs -very limited upward promotions -very hard to move into different groups -stock has negative sentiment in investment, the trend is always in the downside, up and down stock movement, like gambling. Cannot be too greedy, or you end up missing a selling point -a lot of politics, indian engineers protect each other; chinese engineers beat each other, white people still dominate the top mgmt
