Pros

One of the top names in the industry. Good benefits package.

Cons

No information sharing between parts of the company. Hard to find any job related information. Not following best industry practice, tons of legacy code, slow to upgrade/refactor. No incentives to work better, no company wide events, no identity with the company. Each group fight the same problems already solved in other groups. Hard to move between groups, easier to get job in another company instead of raise/promotion. No clear career path, no separation of technical/management ladders. Many honorary titles, people of no impact.
