Pros

Compensation is reasonable. Schedules are somewhat flexible, with options to occasionally work from home. There is plenty of opportunity for travel both domestic and international.

Cons

High turn over of senior management makes for poor business strategy, if ANY can be said to exist. Tactics are very reactionary, unfocused and under resourced. Traction on projects is almost impossible. Extremely long hours are expected and extra effort is not appreciated. Promotions are based on political alliances not merit.

Pros

Benefits are better than most... salary, work/life

Cons

Hieararchy atmosphere.... grade levels rule! Very old school....too concious of grade levels instead of looking at what an individual can contribute. Employees are actually told where they are allowed to park, based on their grade levels. Directors/Managers promote individuals that they know and then "follow the rules" and post the position, after they have told someone that they have gotten or will get the position.
