Pros

- Big company but everything is efficient. - Decent benefits and numerous company events - Manageable hours - Working in a building with so much great history

Cons

- Only hire from within, very ego driven individuals. Not always the most talented people have positions. It's more about who you know rather then your skill - but I guess it's to be expected. - Not much movement or ways to go up the ranks.
