Pros

Colleagues are great to work with, and generally everyone is good at collaborating, even between sites and departments. Benefits are generally quite good if not to say even generous.

Cons

Management is full of lip-service. Work-life balance is a joke. Over-emphasis on the petty issues gets in the way of actually doing good for the company by the employees. There is no forward thought or encouragement at all levels to think about new technology or strategies for a future. Management wants to pinch pennies but yet will tend to over-spend on "growth" projects or are otherwise stuck in technology 10-20 years old. No room for innovative thought; go-along to get-along.

Pros

Management actively supports work-life balance, e.g.: telecommuting for early/late meetings, flexible work hours, respect for family obligations. Also worth noting is the ongoing commitment to personal and workplace safety

Cons

"Process Paralysis" -- huge organization does things "by the book" which would be better handled informally.
