A Machine Optimized at the lowest common denominator
Pros: Great benefits! Some of the best benefits I have had from a company (health, insurance) and decent pay for mid-level professionals.
Cons: Varies by BU and department, but generally the culture is such that 25% of your time is spent on non-productive issues (getting a PO takes 3-6 weeks, HR req for new headcount, etc.) I look around and most people are gone by 3pm everyday and noon on Fridays. 80% of the work is accomplished by 20% of the people...the other 80% are the ones that leave at 3pm everyday. In short, if you want a job, this is a good opportunity. However, if you want a stimulating career, you should look elsewhere.
