Pros

Great pay and benefits, large company means lots of opportunities globally, emphasis on training and developing the individual, caring culture

Cons

Good ol' boy culture is still heavily ingrained - Fox news is played openly in a lot of offices, politics/networking is heavily emphasized, word spreads fast in a large company, management can sometimes be disconnected, lots of change and not all of it is good
