Pros

You receive solid compensation, great benefits, and respect from those within the industry.

Cons

The environment is stale, there is very little creativity and innovation, community or collaboration. You are expected to work hard and create value for the company (understandable) however, there isn't an acceptance of upper management to grow their associates into the next leaders. Also, organizational changes have been occurring frequently and without notice. What "makes sense" to upper management, still doesn't make sense to the individuals who are actually involved in the re-orgs.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
