Pros

Good benefits
reasonable hours if you work smart and set limits
can work from home
friendly coworkers
good intranet with tons of information

Cons

Lack of ambition amongst coworkers.
Many people are very comfortable with their jobs and set in their ways. Not a good place for a young and ambitious person.
Lack of excitement.
Offices are very plain.
Cafeterias are closed after lunch.
Is English the language of business here? sometimes I wonder

Advice to Senior Management

cut down on process and management overhead
