Pros

The caliber of the people is impressive.

Cons

As with many large companies, decision making can feel stifled by processes. Resistance to doing things differently can be demotivating. Whereas the company was innovative and agile in the past, it often feels in denial stuck in a time warp struggling to do things differently when the world outside has changed.
