Pros

Good benefits Smart, hard-working employees Fun, creative work environment Worldwide brand recognition

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with new technologies impacting the business Hierarchy and convoluted org structure impedes decisions from being made quickly Many groups within the company are working on similar projects and "reinventing the wheel" without knowing it. Old boys club where well-connected people get hired into good positions even if they are not the most qualified. Not enough minorities in senior management.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
