Pros

Big company. Long history. Good mission on paper. Much money. Good ideas with bad realisation. Good scope of technologies that could be used in right way.

Cons

Stupid security system - you spend a lot of time to get software for work, but you can get approve for anything unsecure also. Legal department marked that I had a problems with the law, but I haven't any and I couldn't change it. Silly trainings at the begining. They spend a lot of time for meetings. Managers tries to make task instead of developers and engineer must to fix it after them. They respect only managers. I had 4 managers at the same time. And every asked me every hour "How it's going?" Scrum? Agile? Friendly atmosphere? Forget about it.
