Pros

there are excellent opportunities to learn new things and the benefits are spectacular (although the old timers will will you how much better they used to be).

Cons

Hostile culture. Not for the weak at heart. Also, increasing presence of India-based outsourcing companies means job security isn't whY it usex to be.

Pros

Pay and benefits are reasonable. You can have lunch without leaving the building.

Cons

Management is untrained and incompetent. Lots of favoritism going on, and much of this is sexist. Pretty women do better.

Pros

Work life balance is good. Pay is average. A lot of great co-workers.

Cons

Senior Management does not communicate well. Upper management has become stagnant on their approach to some parts of the business. Many people who have deserved to get promoted don't get promoted, and many people who haven't deserved to get promoted do get promoted. Performance management process is suspect.
