Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, flexibility to work wherever you want.

Cons

Company is in mature to declining state creating highly political work environment, layoffs every year, stagnant wage growth, and almost no opportunity for career advancement. Company has almost no ability to innovate and senior management that only care about making money for themselves and friends (at employee and shareholder expense). Annual reviews are really more popularity contests than reflection of work product and achievement of objectives...

Pros

large stable company where you can maintain your position.

Cons

Beyond horrible people management. Colleagues spend more time trying to undermine each other rather than make the company more successful.

Pros

Big company - all the big company benefits like good salary, job security, being part of a coprorate world etc.

Cons

Takes a long time to get anything done because of the size. Also, processes are terrible based on old systems. Innovations is slow and has to happen through acquisition.
