Industry heavyweight with big impact, big inertia, lacking mobility/agility or insight into its own weaknesses.
Pros: Big name in the industry
Lots of challenging work, smart colleagues
Strong benefits, although not as much as it used to be
Cons: As widely described and debated on the web and in literature, the review process motivates me-first attitude and disincents teamwork.  There is no real interest by management in providing a more humanist review system as they continue to believe that internal competition feeds innovation despite all the data that shows otherwise.
Perfectly willing to drive people away who simply get their jobs done rather than play the game against their peers.
