Pros

Stability. It is a large company and the reward system is such that there is little lost by coasting along and staying under the radar. If your career aspirations are not aggressive and you are content to "just have a job," then it is a good environment.

Cons

Much is said about shifting from growth via acquisition to internal organic growth, but there are too many legacy people supporting legacy systems and ideologies. The management style is very "old-school" and unprofessional conduct is almost an acceptable norm.
