Pros

The pay is comparable to the market

Cons

No consistency in management from one group to the next. In order to advance you need to be one of the favorites and male. Hard work and dedication do not come into play. They no longer care about the people. When I first started it was all about the employees. I enjoyed coming to work and giving 110%. That is no longer the case. I come in do what I'm told and leave. I no longer feel that I can express my opinion. I have lost many friends here due to down sizing or better opportunities.

Pros

Quite laid back work culture, does not have a lot of work to do if you are that kind. Good compensation and perks

Cons

Not intellectually simulating work(a lot has been done already, so the current work given was boring and didn't had much room for innovation)

Pros

It's a big company, and has the resources to offer many opportunities for training and career growth. There are also opportunities to work in different areas of the company, which allows you to get breadth of experience. If you don't like working in one area, you can fairly easily move to other areas. There are pretty clear processes and procedures for almost everything, so if you like structure, this is the place to be. Many departments, other than those with direct customer contact, have liberal dress codes. There are some nice employee-friendly perks, such as exercise centers, in-house medical clinics, etc.

Cons

There are many, many layers of management. This can translate to decision makers who are insulated from the information they need. Another downside is the "gain-sharing" plan which makes a nice bonus in good years but in lean years can bring your pay below what you may have planned. Because there are processes and procedures for almost everything, it may be difficult to innovate or make changes. This is particularly true with some managers who may be afraid to rock the boat. Of course, there are some managers who can apply common sense to help get the job done too.
