Pros

High Salary Good opportunities for growth A lot of smart, competent engineers to learn from You get a high degree of ownership from the projects you work on

Cons

If you are not doing well, you will not be told until its already in writing for HR Top level management makes unpopular top down decisions that are not supported by data Managers must fire a certain amount of people every year to meet a quota, and stack rank other engineers against each other, which does not breed a great culture
