Pros

1. Solid Reputation 2. Many talented people 3. Interesting projects 4. Benefits and pension and 401k are more than fair in the current economy

Cons

1. Very condescending attitudes from some (certainly not all) supervisors 2. Management clearly plays favorites; less than stellar performers continually rewarded and praised; less than "popular" staff often ignored even when performing at high levels; 3. Management claims to want staff to become "engaged" - but when suggestions are made, they are ignored; 4. Main end of year concerns are how to take enough PTO to make sure you don't lose it; projects take a back seat; 5. Clannishness and cliques are alive and well;
