Pros

Job Security, assuming the financial economy doesn't get significantly worse. The organization is well established and will likely continue to grow.

Cons

Poor quality management. Finger pointing. Problems are generally address as Who, rather than why and how.

Pros

The 401k matching is one of the best. Health Care choices plentiful. Salary very competitive for the area. Lot's of opportunity for growth due to the sheer size of the organization. Relocations plentiful, particularly international opportunities

Cons

"Top down" communication sorely lacking. "Offshore" is becoming the new "Onshore" Pay for performance, although a highly touted concept is still just a tagline. Disparity of treatment on the employee level. Goals are vague, mostly unmeasurable, and often used as a punishment rather than incentive. Internal job posting program is mostly one way commnication with little or no feedback to even acknowledge acceptance of interest on the applicants part.
