Pros

The company is generally regarded as a safe bet by investors. It has been steady through good and bad economic times.

Cons

BD is very bureaucratic, probably like many other large companies. The culture is that of sustaining engineering and does not lend itself to innovation well.

Pros

There is a good work life balance, the pay is good if you're a consultant, and they are a stable company.

Cons

It can be boring because everything is tasked out. There is no freedom to decide the features being implemented due to teams of people for each task.
