Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Medical benefits decline every year but that is probably the same everywhere. Excellent 401k employer match.

Cons

Creativity is discouraged. Good performance is viewed as not having made any mistakes with no reward for achievements. Extremely political environment. People are very frendly to your face but refuse to work together. All work that requires skill and talent is outsourced. Advancement is achieved by networking and favors. There is a rigid policy for almost everything. Strickly following the policy is more important than the results. Procedure and policies make accomplishing anything take five times longer than necessary.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
