Pros

Decent pay, a recognized name and bagels on Wednesdays. The company still has some great smart people after the latest cuts.

Cons

Poor leadership at the top and inconsistent strategy. Highly political environment. Strategies and structures change often and there is no understanding of what it might take to operate differently. A large number of consultants working on all kinds of things adds to the politics, strategy shifts and meetings.

Pros

Depending on the team, work/life balance can be fairly good.

Cons

Bureaucracy and politics - as in any other large company. You need to expect some resistance whenever you try to change any process. Things move slowly and you need to be very patience and very diplomatic. You need to be a great negotiator in order to get any brilliant idea you may have across. Promotions are granted as if you were in the military: it doesn't matter what you did - you need to patiently wait for your turn.

Pros

The people are friendly. It can be stressful at times. There is often high volume on the weekend. Career Opportunites, Communication, Compensation and Benefits, Employee Morale, Recognition and Feedback, Senior Leadership, Work/Life Balance, and Fairness and Respect are all solid.

Cons

High Stress and raises aren't high enough.
