Pros

I have seen a lot of job growth here, it wasn't always great and they definitely upset me many times especially when I was low level, But in the last few years I have been on an upward trajectory and finally feel relatively well compensated. It has also been a stable job with no layoffs which is amazing in this industry and economic climate.

Cons

I think it just depends what group you are in, whether you like your superiors/employees, and how those people make you feel. There are so many departments and positions and I think some departments are poorly run and others have a great crew.
