Business outlook
Pros
opportunities for advancement if willing to do ex-pat, fair compensation, Insurance and 401K were very good, modified flex-schedule was nice, centrally located in downtown, paid for parking or bus fare for employees who had to commute, opportunities to travel globally.
Cons
good-old-boys-club. if you don't know someone near the top of management your growth will definitely be stunted. it takes a long time to often make simple decisions (due partially to sheer size and cultural approach to various decisions). Also, advancement is possible but perception is that to get promoted into management you have to do an expat assignment (usually in france).
