Pros

Global Experience, large cross functional teams, nice benefits

Cons

With 60,000 people, lots of opportunities to change roles (& managers) within the company but unfortunately not great HR planning for long term career growth. Especially to fill the mid level manager gap.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Plenty of opportunities for career progression and as an engineer you're not locked into a single path. You plan your own career and you're in charge of the moves you want to make.

Cons

Promotions are based on tenure for the first 8-10 years with the company. Performance is not rewarded monetarily even though they preach a pay for performance system. People tend to slip through the cracks by partaking in the politics and receive too much recognition based on extra-curriculars such as event planning rather then focusing on how good an individual is at their job.
