Pros

- Great benefits (I mean really exceptional benefits) - Reasonable work/life balance (stressful periods but overall a good balance) - Good co-workers

Cons

- Risk averse in the extreme (almost zero innovation - "old" management is the worst) - No advancement opportunities (so many 30 year senior managers well past their prime) - Dictatorial/micromanaging upper management (raised voices and "my way or the highway" approach is common)

Poor senior management and too many middle managers Terrible performance management approach related to who you know not what you do. Good engineers are leaving because there are no promotions and the pay has fallen far behind other companies
