Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. You'll learn a lot.

Cons

You're more than expendable. When management gets bored of your project, they lay you off, sometimes your entire business group, even when it angers their customers.

You deal with a ton of bureaucratic junk daily.

You'll learn how to be a political waste of space faster than you'll learn good engineering. It's all about who you can throw under the bus to get ahead, not the actual merits. People will present your work as their own if you help them and aren't there to correct them.

Advice to Management

Maybe have some patience with projects and stop trying to "break in to" already saturated markets, or sponsoring the Olympics at the cost of jobs.
