Pros

Decent pay, good work life balance. Workers are generally friendly and easy to get along with - there are no raging a-holes there.

Cons

Senior executives starting with the CEO are very hands off leading to a lack of accountability from the top down. There is a clear lack of management maturity and that gets reflected in the results. This organization is overly bureaucratic and treat it's employees like mindless peons. You are constantly bombarded with directives to take this or that training, or acknowledge this or that notice of something or save all your emails so that the czars in legal, HR and IT can all do their CYAs. Working with the IT team is a disaster - too many meetings requiring too many people (so they become difficult to schedule) and too many approvals and too many people who think they have authority to veto you when they really don't. There are actually many quality people here but how we work is atrocious and managers have no appreciation of the importance of time.

Pros

Great benefits all around, especially the 401k Decent pay, but still below average for the industry Depending on your location, some people are great Own multiple subsidiaries that you can work for No drug testing

Cons

Poor executive management - investment bankers are running the company into the ground just like they did when they were head of their banks Middle management doesn't seem like they want you to succeed, they don't help in ways for you to move up in the company Brown-nosers get ahead in the company instead of the hard workers, even when you clearly outperform the brown-nosers No where to grow, this company is a dead end for your career This company is going through layoffs every 6 months, never feel like you're safe
