Good pay, very sharp people, good products.

Cons

Politics and complexity of this large organization. The management still retains a command and control approach which stifles innovation. Lots of territorial behavior at most levels.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
