Great for those who want a steady J-O-B, but not a career.
Pros: Some nice co-workers, not many layoffs.  Many work-from-home / flex positions.
Cons: You will never, ever, be given any raise that is any less than deplorably insulting for the amount of work you do.  Think 1% every five years, if you are lucky.  Bonuses are not given unless you are in sales, and if you are, your quotas will be unachievable.
This is the place to come if only if you need a flexible, steady job and don't give a darn about a career, especially if you are a woman.  Be sure to study the org chart before you decide to accept any position--facts don't lie, and you will see very few women in leadership or management positions.  For the most part there is a lot of "in-bred" leadership of people who have been with the company for a few decades but otherwise have few qualifications and little experience, which is problematic in such a flat organization with little promotion that's looking to grow.  Suggestions for innovation or improvement don't get very far.  Due to the culture, internal career prospects and personal growth opportunities are scarce, which is odd for such a large company with so much business.
