Pros

- Good pay - Good overall benefits package - Smart people - Large company environment (a pro and con) - Inept senior leadership in some areas

Cons

- Very little recognition of work/life balance. I have noticed others pointing to this as a "pro". Not at all the case in my department so obviously varies by business unit/department. Sr. management used to at least give this lip service, now does not even mention it. In fact was told some time ago that the "expectation" was that everyone should be working at least 50-60 hours/week. - Significantly underresourced - both with budget and people - for the things the company wants to accomplish. We move forward with intiaitives that are bound to fail because there is not enough money or time to do them right. - Very "old school". Little innovation happening. When innovation or a new approach is proposed, it is like pushing a large boulder up a hill to get understanding and buy-in. - Very few opportunities for advancement once you reach a certain level.
