Business Outlook

Pros

Good 401(k) and healthcare benefits, cool products, career growth/opportunities to move around if you are at a major site, finally realizing changing the culture is necessary to be competitive

Cons

Very siloed, lots of process and tool customization to suit leadership's whims which leads to unnecessary complexity, hierarchical and bureaucratic culture, difficult to challenge the status quo

Business Outlook

Pros

Large organization with lots of contacts to make

Cons

There's layers of insulation between managers and general workforce. Responsibilities falls hard on general workforce while managers seems to skate off with little or no repercussions. Projects can be years behind schedule but managers are under little pressure to fix those issues which they just pass the buck down.
