Pros

Friendly but competitive...good work life balance...so big that its easy to feel lost or anonymous. Good opportunity for travel and advancement if you work hard and get noticed.

Cons

Too large, rarely do true engineering work... mostly managing contractors and sub-contractors

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
