Pros

- Good Benefits (401K match, tuition remibursement, health club reimbursement, etc.) - Somewhat stable in the present economic environment - Good name on the resume

Cons

- Absolutely no career growth. Promotions are in name only. You can stay with the company for 5 years and basically do the exact same job. - In some departments there is a culture of "Just Get it Done" without thinking of the downstream effect. This will lead to many late/stressful nights cleaning up messes. - Incompetent middle manangement. Amateur HR department.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
