Pros

Large company with opportunities in all areas and all over the world. Good benefit, tele commuting encouraged if you are not customer facing.

Cons

Slow moving, red tape everywhere. Very little room for advancement in middle level unless you are already a senior manager. Yearly layoffs, and usually handled very poorly.
