Pros

Many of the people are great to work with, and the benefits are fantastic—like working for an old blue-chip company rather than a nonprofit.

Cons

Management is inconsistent. There is an "in-crowd" who never gets in trouble, and there is an out-crowd that gets cleaned out for the new restructuring fad. Rules change all the time, and the whole racket seems to just support upper management's income.
