Pros

Good work culture, extensive growth opportunities, moderate travel if you like it. You can make yourself heard if you know the right people.

Cons

Politics as is to be seen everywhere in Corporate America. Ofcourse, you need to know the right kind of people or do good amount of networking to gain success, promotions ( again pretty much the same scenario everywhere).
