Pros

It all depends on what team you work in and in what department. I happen to have a good management chain but it all depends on the department you're in. Pay and vacation is okay. Its not the best but its not bad either. I'm excited to go to work everyday but that wasn't always the case. And there are some who love coming into work and others who don't.

Cons

Again it depends on the department you're in. Overall, for a rich company they are quite cheap about silly little things. But over indulge in other things.

Pros

Free food, which is not all that great. Monopoly position in its market helps allow for massive wastage of resources (see below).

Cons

Innumerable. Huge bureaucracy, ritualistic cult-like atmosphere, bizarre big-brother monitoring everywhere. Does everyone really need to know where and when you badged in and out? Entire teams that do little to nothing. Regular need to tell managers to pi** off when they attempt to bully you. Mind-numbingly boring work. Early 1980's technology hasn't changed a bit. And lastly, now that the owner has returned, having exhausted his political adventure, it is like Odysseus returning to Ithaca and there will be major lettings go, new joiners first.
