Pros

Good health insurance & decent starting salary

Cons

Cut throat, sweatshop mentality - 50-60 hour work weeks are norn - Give lip service to 'work life balance', but not allowed comp time when work weekends and holidays - Once you reach a decent level of compensation for working like this they'll 'manage you out' and backfill your position with a new grad, or out-source/off-shore - very short-sighted and balanced scorecard driven organization

Pros

Great people. The company looks good on resume. You can be involved in quite different projects - many global. Good place to get global experience.

Cons

Very little advancement, promotion, or recognition of individual talents. It's who you know, not what you know. Middle management has been promoted based on seniority and have very little mobility up or lateral. I have seen one young individual contributer promoted into management in my 8 years, and I have changed two business units during my tenure.
