Pros

-Level of autonomy in my work -There are consistently new projects to work on; the work isn't boring -Flexible work arrangements -Benefits are fair and comparable to competitors -Engaging Employee Business Groups that provide community for in-person and remote employees

Cons

-Inconsistent performance management across teams, particularly within the People Organization. You have high performers not being promoted or given more responsibility without pay/title increase, and sub-par performers being promoted or having an increased scope of responsibility -Lack of accountability across teams; see above RE: people being held to different standards
