Pros
It's not a sweatshop. Reasonably accomodating to working from home. Little sense of job paranoia given the financial crisis. Some very capable, intelligent and friendly people.
Cons
Restrictive network policies - IE 6.0 only 'legal' browser, many restricted sites, 'no downloading' policy, all 3rd party software subject to IT dept 'wrapping'. Intra-company communications stuffed with corporate blather. Very little communication/co-operation/sharing between businesses. Employee productivity takes second place to data entitlement restrictions in software development environment.
