Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are good. Work with teams of smart international people. Many departments offer good training. Upper management appear to generally run a very good business. Good values.

Cons

Large Company so a fair amount of unnecessary bureaucracy. Industry is very cyclical and since cyclical lay-offs are very deep (to keep the stock price high) don't expect a long career or to be able to retire. Higher paid (= older, more experienced) staff are often the ones to go regardless of how good recent performance reviews are.
