Fight for survival - this is the real world after all
Pros: Some learning, brand name, location, cafetrias, gym.
Training programs (if you get lucky)
Perks (discounts at name brand stores)
Lot of "soft" benefits - internal knowledge bases, mailing lists (affinity, culture-based)
Peers with all degrees of experience
Opportunities to move between groups and functions
Support for higher education (again, depends of the group and how savvy you are)
Cons: Extremely political. If you are not in the "right" group or under the "right" mgr... you know what is going to happen.
Career development processes are an eye-wash (you have to chart your own course)
