Pros

Conservative style keeps the company out of the absurd debt and problems that cause some companies.

Great benefits and, by and large, the people are great to work with.

Cons

While it seems like there should be ample opportunities for career advancement, I did not find that to be the case.

There is a glacial project approval process, and the development system is byzantine and highly bureaucratic.

Advice to Management

Break down the bureaucracy and make information easier to get to. Too many business units act as islands and "hoard" information.
