Pros

Technical challenges and an exciting industry. The company does have great benefits. Team work at project level is great., enjoy working with customers.

Cons

Too much Bureaucracy, stop and go initiatives, focus on management tools instead of paying attention to the fundamentals. Financial policy is penny-wise but pound foolish. Middle management layers are paralyzing pro-active approaches.
