Pros

Good work-life balance. Good place to gain experience. Nice benefits.

Cons

Promotion path can be opaque. Very little expenses covered abroad, and the expectation is you must cover expenses upfront. Bureaucratic, as it's such a large organization. Different offerings and locations have different cultures, so your experience may vary. May be left maintaining legacy products and technologies. A business organization that sells solutions, as opposed to an engineering company.

Advice to Management

Too many management layers and cross concerns mean your voice is lost.
