Pros

It has a myriad of businesses where you can learn. It also has pockets of competent managers that make the jobs interesting and meaningful. The pay is also good.

Cons

Working of projects, I felt that a lot of the things we were doing were inconsequential, almost meaningless. Some folks are far more interested in keeping their jobs and preserving the status quo rather than doing valuable work. The culture is very male, very white, and if you are not golfing with the inner circle, you will not move upwards anytime soon.
