Procedure over people
Pros: Great people, solid middle managers.  Good benefits.  Worked with a team that genuinely tried to get the best work completed.  Our worst enemy was the internal system i.e. input of same data had to be entered into three different databases, all with their own separate nomenclature.
Cons: Procedures are "good" for the company, but bad for individuals.  And the procedures are infinitely more important than an individual.  Salaries are below market rate.  Such a large organization has massive bureaucracy.  Working within my team was great, but to get anything done was an exercise in frustration, it was like the company punished us for trying to do our job.
