Pros

good, competent regional technical staff; excellent benefits; good pay; some offices offer a flexible work schedule; decent vacation; pension plan

Cons

incompetent senior management; micro-management is prevalent throughout the organization (getting worse); an astonishingly bureaucratic organization for a company of its size; long term incentive plan is nebulous; no real training/development opportunities for junior technical staff (though this is advertised)
