Pros

Money is good. Salaries are competitive and bonuses are nice. Very hard to get fired.

Cons

Too much politics, especially at the senior management level. No manager would fire those who aren't doing their jobs. It's very demoralizing when you work really hard while some of your coworkers just goof off.

Pros

I really like my colleagues. The rank and file co-workers are great, unlike management.

Cons

No job growth. Mangers actively prevent movement. You are not chosen on merit, but on whether your current managers gives you a good enough recommendation to your potential hiring manager. That's usually saved for a relative or someone else that's connected.
