Not what it once was
Pros: Decent benefits, ok work-life balance
Cons: Work environment has changed to a Civil Servant-ish one, if you're really book smart, and are good at the political schmoozing, you'll succeed, if you're a hard worker that just wants to be really good at what you do and be left alone, you'll fail.   

Spend more time justifying existence than doing the job at hand, probably 20-30% of time is done in this exercise.
