Pros

Allows employees to gain experience working with a wide variety of enterprise applications. Generally very laid back attendance policy, reasonably good benefits. Employment is reasonably secure in terms of layoffs.

Cons

Middle management tried to hard to make everyone happy instead of rewarding employees based on performance. Lax attendance policy abused by a good proportion of employee base. Layoffs(though I was not affected) were based on a very inconsistent methodology. Some management "cliquey" and unprofessional. Pay was far below market average, when I presented management and HR market surveys, they would not match these figures. Managers abused training budgets for personal vacation time, preventing employees from getting training.

Pros

BIg company with worldwide presence. The pay is competetive but could be better to attract better talent. They spent a lot of money to upgrade SAP this past year and are finally moving their data center in to a "real" data center.

Cons

Once run by Dick Cheney - political impact of that is tough to overcome no matter what. Outsourcing (as in all IT shops) is a threat that seems to be growing but there are areas that seem safe from this. Inter-group department comuninication can be improved. Sometimes it appears you have to come from the outside to get promoted to a senior position.
