Pros

The health and retirement benefits are good and time off is ample once you've been there for a few years. The work environment is relaxed.

Cons

There seem to be many independent groups working on similar things, but there is not as much collaboration or knowledge sharing between them as you'd expect and hope for. There are frequent departmental re-organizations and manager turnover. I've had at least 10 different direct managers in 9 years. Career advancement options are very limited - most people leave the company and then return to take the next step upward in their career.
