Pros

challenging, fair, interesting, professional, lot of possibilities, multinational workenvironment, possibility to work at the same company, but with always changing positions - if you want to change, you can work in different countries, with different cultures, safe place to work, reliable employer, fun teams

Cons

in very few cases people get positions that is very questionable, sometimes company politics can be frustrating, work can be overwhelming, you need to be able to say no, otherwise you can get lost in the workload, sometimes seems bureaucratic, IT support line is useless in most cases with respect to the few good IT professionls

Pros

Benefits and job security, reputation for integrity, great dedicated employees who work wonders as a team. Managemnent who is very interested in helping with career development and opportunities, excellent training opportunites for new careers. And for me personally it is the flexibilty and hours and opportunity to work at home much of the time.

Cons

Long hours, less competitve salary, they expect a lot of dedication from their employees and sometimes don't seem to reward them appropriately compared to others in the same industry. Salaries and bonuses are not competitive, but if you include the benefits and job security that may help make up for it.

Pros

Large company, good benefits, fair compensation, aility to move around in same city and available to work in cross functional areas. You usually are working with excellent folks that are good at what they do.

Cons

Large company, if you are not used to being accountable for perormance get used to it here, you are ranked according to what you deliver and compared to your peers on a annual basis. In lean times and in good times the bottom 10% are laid off. Part of a larger conglomarate (GE) and we are going to be sold or spun off in the next 1-5 years depending on the economy.
