Difficult to progress unless you joined as a grad
Pros: Stable organisation, well known with a good reputation in some quarters. Very results and process driven with a wide geographic spread of offices
Cons: Very hierarchical, job band driven. Lots of sideways moves available but little progression even if you get through the hoops that are supposed to get you to the next level. Little empowerment they don't like initiative and outside the US most roles are sales orientated. It really is a place where you have to do your numbers every 90 days or the 'bad boy' process kicks in.
