Pros

Very process oriented, for the most part good at "project management". "Discipline" "Results" values are not just value statements, it is embedded into the culture

Cons

Too many "silos" and duplication of jobs between divisions. Everyone protects their turf. NIH (not invented here) syndrome prevalent. Focal system, while "simplified" still a problem. System forces managers to reward only the top 15%, and there is no ability to assign dollars, system assigns raises based on a fixed algorithm.

Pros

The company has an excellent reputation and it is a badge of honor to work for it. Its core business is fascinating and almost literally powers our technological society. There is a very good compensation package and plenty of sites, departments, and positions that could in theory allow for career changes/growth while staying within the company.

Cons

There is excessive bureaucracy for certain processes, and the company's emphasis on safety regulations can be extreme at times. Teams and departments within IT tend to split into "silos", reducing opportunities for collaboration and career advancement. The company's great reputation allows it to pay lower salaries than lesser-known companies do.

Pros

Pretty good pay, great benefits and vacation, flexible working conditions and schedule allowed, lack of micro-management, nice people, looks great on the resume

Cons

Uninspiring, stressful, monotony. People follow stupid inefficient processes just because they were told to, instead of thinking for themselves. Some co-workers at your same level shouldn't be, and they lack the education/intelligence. It can be so dry. You aren't appreciated or recognized very often. The yearly review process doesn't reward based off of merit, it rewards whether you played the political game well--you are expected to create new tools, processes, or other extra work that isn't even real value-add, just to say you did something extra that year. There is a lot of obvious favoritism, and you can get ahead if you feel like digging deeper into the BS and swallowing it. Seniority is often prioritized over actual merit.
