Pros

Top salary ranges and benefits, endless career oportunities

Cons

Alot of politics are involved, performance appraisals are based on your relation with your managers, you have 1 direct manager yet too many indirect managers. You work very hard and they still fire you claiming you are costly. You are expected to work above human standards yet still keep your fatigue levels at Low!!

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
