Pros

* High stability, (if that's important to you) * Difficult to get fired, if you toe-the-line. * Good bonus structure * Relatively generous compensation * Decent benefits * Top-down process driven management * Highly conservative ivory-tower management

Cons

* Top-down process driven management * Highly conservative ivory-tower management * High levels of "dead-wood" associates (to the point incompetence) * For highly capable / ambitious Bay-Area types, the company has a reputation for being the employer-of-last-resort * Very little innovation happening within R&D, (that's what buying other companies is for...) * Overly sensitive, politically correct, working environment. * The meetings... my God, the useless meetings.
