Pros

Good salary, good benefits, good perks, some really great people

Cons

Communication and transparency don’t exist. Value of individuals is often not recognized. IT is essentially run by quality with excess process and poor quality systems and products. Too many consultants and not enough internal knowledge. Very hierarchical with little room for growth.
