Pros

Good work computers, good benefits, above average cafeteria food,

Cons

Employee performance is rated on a normal distribution instead of an individual basis, crippling bureaucracy stands in the way of any innovation, lots of incompetent people make their careers here because it is almost impossible to fire anyone, the "start-up culture" touted during my interviews is non-existent

Pros

- Affordable health insurance that goes a long way - 401k company match after working there for 1 year - Management does not pressure you to work late often - Employees are trusted and have plenty of opportunities to work independently and as part of a team - You get to work closely with intelligent and motivated people

Cons

- REALLY slow, corporate pace - Ridgid project deadlines that come from high up the chain - Quantity is always preferred over quality - IT helpdesk requests are seemingly ignored for weeks (until after you've fixed the problem yourself somehow) - Old, bulky, bloated (mainly Microsoft) tools - Complete lack of inter-team communication
