Pros

Groups are autonomous. Developers in other countries are nice.

Cons

Do a good job and you get to do other people's job as well. None of the upper management knows anything about software: "Why are there bugs in this software after it has been released?" Groups do not share knowledge - everyone starts over from scratch. Security policies are lax, at best.

Pros

Fairly laid back Management is hands-off

Cons

I worked in the Toronto office, which came along for the ride when FIS bought Sanchez Computer Associates way back when, so my experience may not be typical of this fairly large company. The main problem I experienced was that if you worked on the IT side, you didn't get any respect from the rest of the company, especially senior management. Management had this strange notion where if a developer leaves, he can be easily replaced with another off the street and the team can just carry on without missing a step. That's foolish to say the least, yet time and again key technical people would leave the company and they did nothing to improve the situation. Just another programmer, right? It was no wonder that clients were steadily moving to their competitors.
