Poor middle managers, favoritism and yes-man culture.

Pros

Decent compensation and good benefits, used to be very decent work-life balance but changed dramatically in the wrong direction over last couple of years

Cons

After several rounds of layoffs a lot of good (qualified and knowledgeable) people were either let go or quit which created a complete vacuum and crisis of leadership in many groups. Individuals who took their places are utterly incompetent and consequently extremely insecure and seemingly in constant fear for their own jobs. Middle management is full of incompetent yes-men who are bent on creating appearance of being extremely busy and pressuring their employees to work on meaningless tasks while setting unreasonable expectations and ridiculous deadlines.

The blind leading the blind

Pros

IT salaries were better than market but it comes with 24/7 support and many weekends. Benefits were above average and the location is between the train stations.

Cons

Working for a company that eliminated hundreds of US jobs in the past 2 years. Some of the most talented and respected leaders were kicked to the curb with absolutely no reasoning behind it. Watching these jobs move to Belfast and India has destroyed moral. The remaining IT leadership is made up of people with ties to India, screaming alcoholics and yes-men. Existing staff is actively looking for alternative employment but won't make the move until the next round of layoffs come around (with package) or the next bonus is paid out.

Pros

benefits, salary is near market rates with benefits making it a little better than some companies, they invest in training and education, great technology

Cons

lots of cost cutting and more to come, waiting is a requirement on every project, very few people have a true voice that management will listen to. the company is rife with politically savvy people, those that play it will or buddy up to the bosses get ahead, the rest have no hope, laterals are nearly impossible you have to already know how to do the new job and be a perfect match on paper.
