Pros

Stability, resources of a big company, diversity of internal opportunities, great industry

Cons

Hard to innovate, change. Depending on role, it can be hard to feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment because it’s so difficult to get things done. There are also organizational problems in parts of the company that make it challenging to know who is responsible for what, etc.

Great benefits, crappy culture

Pros

Benefits are great and got to work with some really smart people.

Cons

Very old school culture that is slow to adopt change. Very manual processes with more emphasis on acquisitions and cost cutting than improvements and/or innovation. Not indicative of the majority of people who work there, but there are a few bullies who act with impunity. One such example is a director who called to a lower level employee by a crass word that references a part of the female anatomy and there were no repercussions.
