Pros

Ability to work from home / remotely. International travel. Training. Work-life balance.

Cons

Technology is a little dated. The migration to IBM WebSphere portal is more of a road block to application development than it is a tool.

Pros

Management is typically very rational and levelheaded. No off the hip responses to emergencies.

Cons

Below market compensation. Lousy benefits. Poor self-esteem generally amongst employees. Mixture of old school "cheap" hires also dilutes the mental edge in the working environment. Good for retirement.

Pros

Great business environment that encourages interacting between departments as well as countries.

Cons

In terms of IT, an extreme lack of regard by senior management which could be related to the Head Office being in Pacific Time but North America's business sector is based in Eastern Time.
