Pros

Lots of opportunities first 1-3 years Great place if you love the corporate environment 1/2 day Fridays during the summer

Cons

Too many people who think the same way- no room for independent thought Lack of agility to keep up in marketplace Very political Too many meetings, not enough actual work being done Style is rewarded over substance Very s-l-o-w to make decisions or change Just went through major restructure and are still sputtering Low morale
