Pros

Great brand name Exciting Flexible in terms of where and how you work.

Cons

Long hours. No recognition for past success Senior leadership operate in a bubble with zero connection to the business at operational level. Senior management counselled by inexperienced back office types, or watered down BS from regional management. Don't expect any job security, you mean nothing to them, you will just be a Number! Toxic politics, driven by a couple of Machiavelli types who are clueless about the business. If you are deemed a mere Local or Lopat or come from the Southern Hemisphere consider another company.
