Pros
Being one of Central Iowa's largest employers, working for Principal gave me a sense of accomplishment - that I was good enough to work for an organization that had been around as long as they have been.
Cons
They've addressed it since I was there, but working in Corporate One at the time was a dour affair. No amenities and a generally depressing environment. Aside from that, Principal is a big ship to steer and they don't make a move without countess meetings. I would characterize the culture as risk-averse and not very innovative. They're very focused on trying to keep everything on an even keel. But they've no qualms about putting profit before people.
