Pros

Very good pay and because of the company size many job options.

Cons

Becuase of a Corporate management decision to concentrate on the smallest fluctuation in the market job security has become a thing of the past. Over the past few years strong empahsis has been put on what degree you have and not what knowledge and experience you have. Much of the advancements are now based on the piece of paper not what you can bring to the job through years of experience and learning.
