Pros

Big company, easy to fly under the radar and keep your job if you're a mediocre employee. Lots of different projects to move around to.

Cons

Exceptional employees are not rewarded well. Upper management has no respect for employee concerns. Benefits get worse every year. Merit raises and bonuses are pathetically small.
