Pros

- Supportive management is more than willing to invest in their employees development - Flexibility to move across the organization allows you to try many different industries all under one roof - Smart, motivated, and passionate coworkers who care about the quality of their work - Pay is above market - Great retirement and education benefits

Cons

- Somewhat competitive environment is not a good fit for everyone - Many internal processes and methods are not consistent across the organization - Because so many groups/people were brought in through acquisition it is difficult to have a consistent culture, moving across divisions can feel like joining an entirely new company

Pros

The people. My colleagues are bright, dedicated and fantastic to be around. Being part of a large organization means that there is a wealth of resources and growth opportunities available.

Cons

Since the organization is so big, there is a lot of bureaucracy and procedures to follow, which can sometimes slow down innovation and productivity.
