Pros: Some work from home, but only because you are expected to work crazy hours in addition to the basic 40 hours a week. Good 401K program. Has talent reassignment programs for soon-to-be displaced employees. Has short-term disability programs which finally gives a work-life balance to employees receiving cancer treatments.

Cons: Too much outsourcing. No respect for employees, bullying and verbal abuse from upper management, and no work-life balance. No recognition for good performance if you don't put your life on hold for this company. You will become ill due to the work schedule expected of you, and maybe even mocked for your physical weaknesses.

Pros: Much lower stress. Lots of people to work and learn from. Stable company. Pretty hard to get terminated after your 90 days.

Cons: Health Insurance Internal promotion very difficult and convoluted. Slow to adopt technology. Merit compensation has a glass ceiling.

Pros: Good pay and starting vacation time. The benefits as a whole are good. They allow and encourage internal mobility as well.

Cons: There is way too much bureaucracy in the IT space. Most projects that impact several groups will end up getting delayed because one or more teams end up stumbling over some red tape. Work-life balance is not so good. If it comes to it, you really have to just put your foot down and let them know you're unwilling to put in the hours demanded, or else your personal life can suffer. In some departments, the offshore development model is very effective. Keep in mind that if this is in place, you will be doing almost 0% coding and will lose some real job marketability.
