Pros
Reputation of company, benefits (Medical, stock purchase plan, 401(k), etc), location. Employees are doing work that is meaningful and challenging. There is opportunity to move to other departments, depending on your manager. In a troubled economy, my position was stable.
Cons
Each department worked in a silo, no information sharing. The department I worked in did not plan well for customer needs, which required employees to work overtime on a regular basis. Most overtime could have been avoided by better planning and giving more authority to senior underwriters. Employees with families were "allowed" to leave on time and single employees were expected to stay and complete projects.
