Not the worst place to be, but much room for improvement exists.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company tends to have larger fringe benefits. Location is amazing (especially if you live relatively close). Many varied opportunities are apparently available, but sometimes it's difficult to move to other jobs within the company depending on your current manager's need to keep you.

Cons

Reviews seem canned and do not seem to affect your raises, despite what is told to you by management. Benefits are on a major slide - even more so than similar companies. Internal project leadership (from a technical standpoint) can be lacking, sometimes due to a "leader by default" mentality.

Flexibility when it comes to trying out different roles on a program.

Cons

Lack of external training. Training is almost impossible to get unless its in house, which is usually hit or miss.
