Could be an amazing company if processes were simplified and customer satisfaction became a priority
Pros: Extremely profitable, financially stable company 
Enormous portfolio and great technology 
Great benefits especially health plan 
Lots of opportunity to move around
Huge installed based 
Constant acquisitions adding to the kit bag
Great facilities and flexible working
Cons: Processes - I've never seen such arduous, time consuming, often irrelevant processes required to perform relatively straight forward tasks.   It seems there's an Army of people employed to say "no" or ask you to perform an approval process request..  This makes the job so frustrating that it becomes unbearable for many not prepared to plod through this.

Customer Satisfaction - very few customers I dealt with enjoyed being a customer.  Most felt trapped and would buy elsewhere if they could.   I think this was due to the inflexibility of the company and the processes required to make changes for the client, most staff couldn't be bothered going through the pain.
