Pros

Good people Flexible schedule Great Benefits Decent salary

Cons

-It is very difficult to get promoted for most people and it's not clear what is required to get a promotion. Pay increase after promotion is usually 5-10%, which is very low. -There are too many mid-level managers which makes it difficult to make decisions -People change managers too often which gives a sense of instability and uncertainty
