Pros

The benefits package has been very very good throughout the years, although it has also gotten more and more expensive. It pays well but expects 150% for that payment. Do not start there thinking it will be a breeze, it is not. No one has been treated well, and they are all more than willing to share the misery. But like I said it pays better than most places in this town.

Cons

Long hours, expectations from management that are unclear, senior management seems unclear on anything. Rewards are few, and are given to the people who promote themselves the most, or the people whos management takes the time to recognize them.

Pros

You will have access to almost all the software vendors and products out there. Lots of bureaucracy means you will have ample time to get your work done. You will learn to create extended project plans and how to get nothing done for weeks. Complicated procedures for even simplest things will means more than half your time will be in non-core activities. Dealing with multiple off shored teams will improve your understanding of world cultures and time zones. Meeting after meeting will improve your communication skills. Looking at crappy code written by college graduates will make you appreciate how good you are. You can get home by 6pm.

Cons

You won't learn anything other than politics. You will loose your ability to work and produce the output in a reasonable amount of time. Working on the oldest possible versions of products will mean you stay out of touch with anything current. Your managers will have zero understanding of what your are doing. Working with a dozen teams to get small things accomplished will mean you don't gain new skills. Working in a large company means you will be treated like a printer, moved to new locations without any notice or proper communication. Managers and other teams will withhold information for political reasons.
