Pros

Flexible work environment, decent benefits, market compensation, elite executives in market strategy, vision, portfolio diversification, acquisition and long term planning.

Cons

Politics, passive aggressive tactics from the bottom up. Years of in-fighting and manipulation amongst C level execs, focus on red tape and process, over accomplishments and solid product delivery. IT is the worst. Lots of dead weight, ie under skilled employees doing bare minimum. Obedience valued over passion and quality.
