Pros

-Multicultural environment -Tons of learning/training opportunities -Great benefits

Cons

-No room for advancement when coming in at assistant level -Job responsibilities always changing so you may end up doing the work of senior officers, but remain compensated at your regular rate and when positions open for the job at which you have been taking responsibility for bureaucracy steps in and tells you you aren't qualified. -Ageism is a daily issue, not a very accommodating place of work for anyone outside of the Baby Boomers group (e.g. Gen X and Millennials)

Pros

I've been working here for about two years now. They're good people, trying to do good work.

Cons

Very low maturity in product, tech, and UX. Extremely hierarchical, to the point where it's obstructive -- but hey, that's what you get with places like these.
