Pros

Fairly good work/life balance; executive management good. Mid-level management not so good.

Cons

There's no such thing as being frank and forthright. If one person messes up, everyone is supposed to "share" the blame. Company ethics questionable.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
