Pros

Good benefits as is normal working for a big company.

Cons

Company is very good at promoting themselves to the outside world as something special - which they aren't. Management are so detached from the working staff. They hide behind their desks and emails. They push you to the limits and then throw you out of the door when it suits.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
