Pros

1) It looks good on your resume. 2) Good benefits that come with a large company. 3) In my experience in my division, there is good work-life balance.

Cons

1) Lack of communication from upper management. Often non-management are notified at the very last moment about organizational changes and decisions. 2) Bureaucracy. 3) Very slow to implement changes. 4) Hard to obtain money for the department, for employee salaries, for training, etc. The budget is too much of a hard boundary.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
