A big company
Pros: Some technology. Decent benefits. If you know how to play the game and move until you find the right situation, you can advance. There are decent groups where work can be rewarding.
Cons: Much of the IT is hurry up and waste your time with little chance to advance. In these poor areas, work/life balance is preached but not practiced. In the same poor departments, you only have about a 2% chance of ever being promoted - ever! Took a very large leap just by doing the same high level of performance under a different manger. Top performers get varying bonuses but rarely advance. All culture has been eliminated. Tools are watered down to the cheapest available or to the lowest denominator. Socializing is reduced to the Starbucks break or corporate sanctioned community service.
