Pros

- good work/life balance (at least in my department) - always some low-hanging fruit to fix, so you can get some quick wins among the longer projects - ability to move around the company if you want to

Cons

- extremely siloed - very heavy-handed, top down culture - little encouragement to share information - bureaucratic (there's a committee/team for everything)
