Pros

Such a great group of people, great company, and an extremely recognizable brand name to work for that most people would die for!

Cons

Such a large company, you may sometimes feel like a little fish in a huge ocean, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Time counts more than accomplishments

Business Outlook

Pros

Only as stressful as you make it. The more responsibility you want, the more you are given. Benefits are better than what is offered by the competition. Variety of work assignments.

Cons

Top performers are recognized, but not compensated. It appears that upper management values loyalty over accomplishment: the bonus is system is more of a distribution than a reflection of your individual performance. Low performers are kept around far too long, which results in over-staffing of projects.
