Pros

- Good for waiting your retirement to come - Very good for people who like political battles - Might be a good work life balance if you land to a good team (which is rare)

Cons

- Overall: it is a dying elephant - Very politicized - Very bad for any technical career - Too many "story tellers" and visibility gainers, but very limited amount of really working people. Everybody wants to delegate and eventually get credit of your work. - Outdated stack of technologies, most of them are already irrelevant - Questionable medical benefits - Paycheck bellow average
