Pros

Benefits are good, salaries and the package is ok. Changing positions and areas inside the company is not difficult.

Cons

There is just too much politics, empire building, area grabbing, and self-marketing at the higher ranks. People get promoted and go higher not because of what they do, but rather how they sell themselves.
