Pros: For junior employees, there are lots of opportunities for learning and growth.  Senior employees who fit the company's intense focus on delivering software using lowest common denominator designs and written by indifferently trained junior employees, the company is an outstanding place to work... once they make manager or the equivalent technical rank (Consulting MTS), they will finally have a role in the company's future and an ongoing position relatively safe from layoffs.
Cons: If a senior employee is focused on programming, or on teaching others technical skills, he or she will be barely listened to, frequently thwarted, and, lately, vulnerable to layoff.  A major push to outsource jobs to Mexico, India and China has begun at corporate HQ and no one below the level of manager or consulting MTS is safe.
