      Pros

      I had the opportunity to work with great individuals who shared the same commitment to quality and the customer. I worked on a lot of great projects

      Cons

      Like any large organizations, it sometimes takes a long time to see ideas get implemented. Can be a bit bureaucratic and political.

      Dependable and Fun, but political and career progression depends on your individual department/manager

      Pros

      Very predictable, not a lot is expected of you so if you do more than expected, you get noticed. Nice people, can make a difference if you try. Salaries seem a bit lower compared to peers, but fewer layoffs / firings. Actually very difficult to get fired. Senior senior management seems to be on track to meet targets.

      Cons

      Promotion is not always (often?) based on merit, often based on internal politics. For an allegedly data driven organization senior management is often too sensitive to political concerns than what the data is suggesting - particularly if the suggested course of action is new or "radical". Lifers (30 year plus) vets jealously guard their positions. While those at the highest levels of management impress, middle management seems scared / afraid to innovate.
