You need to be self sufficient and prepared for no or little management interaction.
Pros: The have an extensive software product line.  You could learn JD Edwards, Peoplesoft, Hyperion, and Siebel. If management permits, you have opportunities learn products that may further your career.  The company name will look good on your resume.  The benefits are comparable for a company of this size.
Cons: They view employees strictly as headcount.  A person can get lost in all the bureaucracy.  The current bonus structure for consulting does not compete with other services organizations.  If you do not like large organizations, then this is not the company for you.  If you are joining as a consultant, then you need to come in with a solid base salary.  The bonus' have not been that good since I have been with them.  
There seems to be a reorganization every other quarter.  When it comes time for an annual review some people will have had 3+ managers in a 12 month period.
