Pros

Good benefits. Decent salary. Most people decent to work with. Resources are made available when a decision is finally made to do something.

Cons

Highly political. Advancement through being able to play the game well, not through knowledge or expertise. Difficult to get anything done in a disfunctionally-matrixed organization. All actions take many, many layers of approval. Huge bureaucracy. Unclear lines of authority. The downstream has been shrinking for years making opportunities for growth and advancement difficult to come by.
