Be very careful about the position you are offered. If you have multiple opportunites, strongly consider others.
Pros: Name brand company with Ivy league status (not too sure how helpful that is)
Relatively low likelihood of getting laid off
Good chances to move around in company although mostly lateral with no salary increase
Many locations to work from
You can make many long lasting professional relationships
Cons: MAJOR issues with compensation planning and salary increases for promoted employees
Unimaginable levels of red tape that hinder nearly everyone from being even 80% productive
Total 'cover your ass' culture that is highly reactionary in day to day operations
Really cold East Coast corporate culture that lacks any meaningful sense of humanity
Severely short-staffed in most departments
