Pros

A large place with many different things to do, for those interested. It's what you make of it. There is no shortage of opportunities, but you need to be on the lookout for them - take the initiative, talk to people and proactively seek new positions.

Cons

Can be very bureaucratic. Layers upon layers of people in some cases. It often seems there are many people whose sole job is tracking abnd reporting on the few who actually do anything. Very over-staffed, and managers defending their turf.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
