Pros

Global company. Good experience gained to leave and find a better job.

Cons

Third party managed services. Lack of compassion and respect for IT. IT is just viewed as a commodity. Exceptionally poor financial results and hideous bonus'.

Pros

Large, diversified global company so if you can get a project or program implemented across a significant part of the behemoth you can probably do it any where in the world. "Minnesota Nice" culture that values maintaining personal brands and relationships--outwardly friendly but watch how you express the espoused corporate value of "candor." Great business to be a trader or senior management team member on a direct drive bonus scheme.

Cons

Poor IT systems, poor work processes, and more value on protecting personal "brands" and establishing mutually protective relationships than getting results. The HR function is, ironically, the worst function at developing talent--classic "cobbler's children" scenario.
