Pros

Good pay, good benefits. Large variety of things to work on in the company, but it is hard to get onto the (very few) teams work on new/exciting projects. In some groups it is easy to get lazy if you need to for a while.

Cons

Nearly all your work will involve lots of legacy code. Things move at a very slow pace -- the down time between projects can really drag on.
