Pros

Very challenging projects, incredibly smart and talented co-workers, only recruit the best. Can be very rewarding if you have the support of your management and you're able to succeed. Extreme focus on safety.

Cons

Work:Life ratio very difficult especially if you have children. Lots of "red tape" to traverse at times. Some managers are EXTREMELY difficult to work for, and develop very large egoes.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
