      Pros

      You can experience first hand the bureaucracy of a large company, see which departments walk the talk on culture, people yada yada yada.

      Cons

      Tons, lack of opportunity of growth, upper echelons think they are smarter than the rest, you get forced into a comfort zone of all the benefits that before you realize you have lived your life and it's time to retire. Don't get complacent. Always have an exit strategy

      Pros

      The pros in this company are that no matter how much of an idiot you'll be, you still have real chances of getting promoted. The fact is, the more idiot you are, the better the chances. It's really a work envinronment where you can easily get away pretenting to work but doing much.

      Cons

      - no clear structure and definition of responsibilities - communication and collaboration don't exist at all - people getting promoved over the night and put in leading positions without having the necessary experience or skills - everybody thinks they are more important than the rest - they like to invest a lot of money in things that don't really make any sense - no really chances or a personnel development since there is nobody there capable of guiding you or helping you puttin together a proper development plan for yourself
