Pros
The benefits were very good. The work is interesting and deadlines are fairly flexible. Large companies always have the advantage of having larger budgets for projects as well. There is an abundance of career opportunities and, with some time, the ability to move between them.
Cons
Very slow to implement changes and adapt to the market. This has caused the portfolio to steadily drop each year, resulting in large amounts of layoffs. Moral is at all time lows, important positions are being vacated and leaving for the competition, and those that remain are being overworked, underappreciated, and underpaid. . Promotion to management is based on merit and not managing ability, so retention of new hires and interns is almost zero as a result. The culture is very depressing right now.
