Pros

Good salary and benefits, nice working conditions, some very smart people, the company tries to do the right things for employees within the constraints of being a publicly traded company.

Cons

Backstabbing, politics, a lot of entrenched employees with 20+ years tenure means change is slow. Many executive management decisions come from the consulting firms they hire as most executives are engineers, not managers. Not much room for upward movement.
