Pros

People are nice, relatively good pay for work. they don't insist you take your work home with you (at an entry level) so there is relatively low stress after leaving work. Offer a lot of programs to help continue eduation (my plan). I want to go back to school for phd in environmental economics and resource allocation, so not a bad place to start to get good overall background of the industry. they are very supportive of this

Cons

feels a bit stagnant at times and takes a while for anything to get moving. it is the nature of big companies. It feels a little intimidating because some of the older employees are disheartened by the company for one reason or another. They often claim that promotions are not based on quality of work but how much you kiss up to your boss. I haven't seen this yet, but only been here two months. They are not very casual either- dress code pretty strict so if you are used to wearing jeans to work (ie start ups) probably will take a while to become accostomed to chage.

Pros

Stability of a company with a 100 year track record of success... Large employee base with opportunities for movement within the organization. Generally employee friendly. Emphasis on work/life balance. HR and other organizations are very pro employee and insure a diverse workplace. Compensation and benefits are above average.

Cons

Large regulated company that moves slowly. Senior management has been in place for quite some time and is generally illustrative of the lack of evolution. Much of the culture is slow, steady, and inwardly focused. Some managers are like parasites and auger into the company as there's little risk of being dismissed.
