Pros

Great reputation, looks great on a resume, great exposure to the industry if you're in the right group with the right manager

Cons

Everything is about politics here, don't count on getting promoted without knowing someone. The pay is almost criminal, and they know they can get away with it.

Activity over accomplishment

Pros

- Good benefits. - In general good work-life balance (unless you get stuck with a draconian manager). - Once you get in, you can stay for the long haul without much effort.

Cons

- Activity and personal relationships are rewarded over accomplishment. - Empty teamwork: lots of patting each other's back without ever delivering any results. - Zero career growth/career advancement opportunities. - Employees are rewarded for compliance and penalized for being creative or assertive. Very risk-averse environment. - Managers do not stand up for their people.
