Pros

Decent work life balance, but getting worse as layoffs mount Above average pay Decent people, generally care about your well being

Cons

Everything is over engineered Complexity is built in to support job security Internal IT department is a disaster, pushing more and more work outside given incompetence Poor outlook financially......gotta fix the top line for sentiment to improve Little career flexibility across organizations (people tend to be stuck where they are)

Pros

Great pay, nice campus location, friendly co-workers, technology is better after Windows/Office upgrade

Cons

Poor communication from management; complex corporate structure makes it hard to know who to listen to or follow; constantly-changing directives really interrupts progress and project completion; some management has been there too long and is not competent; seems like they reward more for longevity than performance
