Pros

Great company to work for, great benefits, and a ton of career opportunities. Other than that, they don't have a lot going for them.

Cons

The market is very bad this year. They like to lay people off way before the market reacts. Their 3 pillars of success are People, Technology, Profits.... If People are number 1 then why do you lay off 25,000+ people to keep your share holders happy. Also, if you get laid off you're benefits are ended that night. Upper management is run by engineers you'll never see. There isn't a lot of support from local management either. The pay isn't the best in the industry at all. It's subpar, but the career opportunities if you can make it past this market hump are good.
