Pros: Somewhat good benefits? It really pays off most for long-loyal employees. Benefits and pay for newer hires are not competitive for software engineering.
Cons: Political, hierarchical, too much emphasis on PC and protocol than implementing solutions that will improve the process of getting work done and delivering efficiently. It appropriates Agile methodologies and injects them with a Waterfall soul.
