Business Outlook

Pros

Perks, atmosphere, the people, lots of opportunities to grow, the company values (they are not just for marketing purposes, people actually live/work by them, and it's awesome), incentives to charity work, etc.

Cons

It's such a big company that in the beginning, when you have to learn a lot of things and have a lot of information to consume, it feels like drinking from a fire hose sometimes.
