Pros

Very Structured, Good Senior Management. Great if you buy into the CMMi philosophy.

Cons

PM's hire their friends from previous projects and "promote" them based on personal relationships, not merit. If you're a hard worker who does not fit into a clique of a particular PM, you will eventually be vilified and pushed out. Nothing personal, they just prefer to have their friends around. Saw it happen in several teams with different PM's. I was a PM who felt that PM's should do more than execute a WBS. This place is more about the process than the end goal. Extremely political.
