Pros

Great company to work for provided that you work in an industry/field/market wherein the company makes a substantial portion of its profits (or so I'm told).

Cons

Bad company to work for in an industry/field/market wherein the company makes less a profit. Too busy acquiring companies without fully understanding what made said companies profitable in the first place, or how they maintained and generated new business. Very little training opportunities. Company is completely tone-deaf when it comes to the needs of their staff. Wants to give much of its domestic work to their international offices for cheaper labor to maximize profits. Laughable compensation in my particular line of work.
