Pros

If you are good at networking, there are several opportunities, as this is a huge company with operations in most countries/areas.

The company is very diverse, and there is increased flexibility with regards to working remotely, from home, etc.

Many employees only need a laptop and power cord to conduct their day-to-day.

This company has been around through the good and bad times and has survived as the true "elephant" it has been called.

The benefits package is good.

Cons

The pay is not considered the highest. The current morale is not good. There is a big push to move US jobs to Asia, so you should always look to stay competitive and look at jobs that require a close presence. Many coworkers are working 60+ hours. Because of cuts, many are overworked.

Advice to Management

Improve employee morale! Many don't believe the company still cares for its employees.
