Pros

- A variety of industries it operates in makes certain jobs interesting and a decent set of values to aspire - Great packages but the initial package euphoria weans off once office politics engulfs the work

Cons

- No sense of passion. Employees do not understand their work linkage to the big picture - Lots of wastage in terms of staffing and inefficiencies in processes - Performance assessments can be extremely subjective depending on pre-determined judgments - Hiring process is cumbersome and extends up to 6 months due to various security requirements
