Pros

Pay is good when compared to other places.

Cons

Oh.. What can I say.. they have clueless people working for them as managers in IT. Most of the people are 50+ and do not care about projects. So young people who are enthusiastics about IT projects have to either do all work themselves with no support or get shot down for their curiosity. When you do the work and there are some defects, then you should take all the blame as you are the only one who worked on it!. Place is filled with people with old men mentality and the middle managers are constantly worried about saving thier own backs and so try to minimize budget at every turn. Talent takes a back seat.

Pros

Honestly, this place is incredible. They take care of their employees, they provide great health insurance and retain. It's the kind of place that you want to get into and stay. Rarely do people leave.

Cons

Bureaucracy is a problem in any large company. Some decisions are made too slowly.
