If you want an easy life and low pay
Pros: A very paternal and large company to work for .. with good training, good non-cash benefits and great people to work with. The technology is good as well.
Cons: Pay is going down in real terms and bonuses and commissions are lower every year. Career growth is limited if you are 'normal' - you need to be very focused and a career rottweiler to move forward and up seems to be the only way if you want more money. Admin, paperwork and self-service HR are killing productivity and "work life balance" is now called "work life integration" - draw your own conclusions from that! Feeling like a cog again after some good years as being treated as an individual with value to add.
