Pros

Great benefits, telecommuting, industry leader, opportunity to learn networking from the best, ability to move within the company.

Cons

Depends on which organization you work for. Middle management is bloated and weak leadership makes matters worse. Re-organization in Engineering is frequent with a general lack of accountability. The new mantra of collaboration might not improve this situation. Recognize that you are responsible for your development and if you face the above, look out for better opportunities within the company.
