Pros

Good work / life balance Able to work from home as needed

Cons

Managers only able to give a promotion to 1 employee per year, even with large departments. Seems favorites only get selected, not the ones who deserve it. Politics can hurt you, not government politics, but the in house politics. You rub the wrong person outside your department the wrong way, and your going to go downhill in your position. Need bigger raises. Constant layoffs each year just to please the shareholders, then rehire for the positions they just laid off. Person who gets laid off could be at the company for a year or 30 years.
