Pros

Good pay and good benefits. Some departments better at allowing role expansion. Some technologies managed well (upgrades, patches, versioning, etc).

Cons

Some areas have micro managers, not enough people who understand the big picture. Senior management spending sprees for business trips and meals. Promotions don't always go to the person with the highest talent and skill level.
