Pros

If you are a non technical person with no hard tech skills and fluffy business or soft IS degree, this is the ideal place for you to spend a career hiding schmoozing and attending meetings! If you are a shirker or generally lazy person, you will get the same raise practically (maybe 1% lower) than someone who worked their butt off. Also people with mood and personality disorders will find a home here - technology inept managers have no interest in making the hard decisions so they will just pass these difficult employees around like a hot potato.

Cons

If you are ambitious, innovative, and a hard worker save yourself the misery and apply elsewhere. The IT community is overrun by non-technical managers, project managers, process managers, functional analysts, and do-nothing, overpaid "overseer" type "leads." These people spend their days nitpicking and creating useless "processes" to slap onto the two or three technical people's already overloaded statement of work - I have given up trying to understand why they do this to us and have decided it's merely to justify the necessity of their own positions.

Pros

Good medical & dental benefits, generous educational programs for very specific degrees. The experience you will have at this company is significantly impacted by your first-level manager.

Cons

Endless bureaucracy, poor executive management decisions, shareholder value more important than quality and employee satisfaction. Intimidating culture that is driven by fear. Managers spend 90% of their time in meetings with each other, trying to impress upper-level managers,

Pros

None Not any more at least. Used to be a great place to work. Good benefits great pay, decent management. Now we have a lot of detached demigods in charge. Short term gain is the vision. No long term outlook.

Cons

CEO has no respect for workers. He is disregarding company policy on mandatory retirement and will keep working since "my hear is still beating and the workers are still cowering" Creates a very hostile workplace from the top!
