Business outlook
Pros
It's a good place to get the experience of how a large company works. The standards are quite high, and it's professional. Deadlines are met, and in my experience most people had a genuine interest in performing their jobs with competence. They're also fairly diverse gener and ethnicity wise. Many MBA types will thrive here. The building is terrific and has on-site cafe (Chicago One north wacker location.)
Cons
LIttle room for personality, grinding bureaucracy. Getting anything done requires lots of consensus and leaping through multiple hoops. For these reasons, dealing with IT problems is a nightmare. Working hourse, while not short, aren't unreasonable for the industry. Many surbaban types, which can add to the boring feel.
