Pros

Employees have lots of personal freedom in how they do the job and there is a wide variety of projects. If you're into technical sales and marketing you can do really well. You get to use a lot of different technology and interact with the clients. Great retirement benefits.

Cons

Development planning in non existent, just do or die. The corporate culture really encourges workaholics if you want to climb the ladder. Much of your compensation is in company stock in the retirement plan so the pay tends to be somewhat below average.
