Pros

Corporate culture is excellent, outside of local division - if a bit over zelous .

Cons

This culture is blame based, seeking to push blame for anything away from them selves. It is the nit-pickers heaven. They will dictate how you write the date on things, and force silly practices that are tedious and will "suck the life out" of any reasonable person. Departments do not cooperate and some are outright hostile to each other. Procurement is particularly vindictive.
