Pros

It's weaknesses are its strengths..........incredibly complex matrix-style management. It's possible both to hide in plain sight while still fighting the good fight. Recently changed benefits package so that employees "contribute" nominal monthly sums toward their health care costs (essentially...the company has stopped paying for spouses and children health care while giving the employee 100% care. Caring people who can find on your own level...but nearly non-existent mentoring and hardly any career paths available.

Cons

Way too much political correctness, company sometimes takes its "mission" far too seriously and forgets that it is a $40+ billion corporation employing 130,000 (nobody seems to know how big we are....). Mediocrity runs the gamut of those who are promoted with a few shining exceptions that blind the otherwise dulled sheen of the dullards who pretend to be making decisions. FAR TOO much managerial "coasting". The dangers of a conflating a not-for-profit mission with a huge corporation.

Pros

Dedication to its mission. Flexible work schedule. Relaxed atmosphere. Great health benefits. Pension plan offered. Good work is recognized. Plenty of room for personal growth for the initiated.

Cons

Frequent turnover and reorganization within IT. Discovery of resources and information can be improved. Not for the entrepreneurial spirit.

Management did not do a good job on developing employees, did not provide them opportunities to grow. Career advancement is difficult in the company. Employees were not recognized by doing a good job. Promotion was not given to the best qualified staff. There are too much politic within the company.
