Pros

Great benefits, workplace ameneties, discounts, etc. Good emphasis on employee health and wellness. Great oppotunities for new grads from prestigious schools.

Cons

Decisions begin made by upper levels without knowledge of how things really work. Politics and who-likes-who plays too big a role in promotions, etc than high quality of work. Too much outsourcing to contractors and moving jobs internally to India.
