Pros

- Sound and conservative management - Pleasant place to work, people tend to be very friendly - Benefits and vacation time are generous - Get to work with a large company with global prestige - Rich company can afford paying for little things here in there (like HD video conferencing) that are sound and helpful but not extravagant

Cons

- Management might be too slow to innovate and adapt to change - Tough to get promotions without moving to Europe or another country - Lots of red tape involved in getting anything done, needs to have more entrepreneurial attitude

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
