Pros

Benefits are pretty decent and company is stable to ride through economic downturns. Peers are wonderful, supportive and knowledgeable at their jobs and pull together to support the organization.

Cons

Long-term employees have little opportunity for advancement. Company has a culture of hiring from the outside instead of building up existing employees or only promotes the same people again and again. Company has taken the approach of most large organizations with poor morale that one must "steer their own career" and falsely dangle carrots that taking on more/new different work will lead to advancement or salary increase.

Pros

Clearly defined career ladder Exposure to a wide range of clients and projects.

Cons

Inconsistent team culture. Some teams feel clique-oriented, so it's difficult for new employees to integrate. Training can be limited, with a strong expectation to learn independently.
