Pros

Good place to start out, get some experience; and move on.

Cons

I've seen people promoted to positions they did not deserve, while the person who puts in 100% gets passed over time and time again. I have been through three major "re-orgs," and had my title changed, pay changed, managers changed (three times in one year once), and have seen good people leave due to the overwhelming feeling of discouragement when they are passed up for a promotion yet again given to an incompetent person who "knows" someone. It is difficult to work like that everyday, and I can understand why people leave. It is also highly compartmentalized, which means that once you have worked there for a few years or more; it becomes difficult to be marketable to another company.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
