Pros
If you're looking for that all-elusive first job in programming then keep an eye on production or support jobs with Wood mac. They are very budget sensitive so will promote from within whenever possible, and if you push then you will get a chance to move to development.
Cons
Most in Wood mac views the IT department as an old-fashioned obstacle, including much of IT. The personal politics and 1950s working practises make life pretty unpleasant, and the emphasis on niche and obsolescent technology and penny-pinching product choices show up everywhere. You'll work with old, old hardware and you will be expected to work long hours without any give and take. I've never been in a company with so many people getting signed off for stress.
