Pros

The pay and benefits were competitive.

Cons

Management played favorites, to the detriment of employee morale and group functioning. There were many managers who preferred to stick their heads in the sand instead of proactively addressing problem situations and employees. Groups worked in silos, making it difficult to build cross-functional teams. Bureaucracy was king. Technology problems were frequent, and resulted in significant slowdowns and losses in productivity.
