Pros

Decent benefits Clearly defined paths towards career advancement Support telecommuting and remote employees very well

Cons

Horrific bureaucracy. Everything takes 40 forms, 30 approvals. A great deal of politics involved with pretty much everything The well-defined structure and processes often impair the ability to innovate or "get outside the box" to solve a problem
