Pros

SLOW. Luckily, 'Slow 'in everything means slow also in destroying values and personal skills (which you need to have developed elsewhere), so usually your are given a bit of time before you become officially mincemeat for the Company

Cons

Ridicoulous criteria for Management selection and retention: talent and skills are usually a nuisance for the Company. No attention for the market needs and trends. Overall disturbing arrogance of managers with little exceptions in and out bound

Pros

Broadest spectrum of products in the IT marketplace; Some good visions and iniziatives (ex. Smarter Planet);

Cons

Too much (maniacal) attention for the metrics; Too much (maniacal) attention for cost savings; The internal process is more important than the product/service sold to the customer; Knowledge of the internal processess is by far more important than your IT-related skills/competencies.
