Pros
Compensation and work-life balance.
Cons
What could be more stable work environment than working in a company that has been in business for over 125 years. Right? Not anymore. What goes up, goes down. That golden era is over. Thanks to the new leadership. Company underwent a huge reorg and outsourcing wave. Most IT positions have been replaced by low paid temp visa workers. Pretty much whoever was on management's good books got to stay. Everyone else got laid off. Or in other words, "talkers" stayed, "doers" were shown the door. There are also some (not so) glorious examples of people who got promoted to senior management but they hardly have a decade of experience on resume. Think about the people who made those decisions and think about the kind of people you will be reporting to if you decide to join. Next wave of lay offs coming soon in Business areas. Tax penalties for outsourcing, anyone? These so called offshore body shops have local incorporated entities in the USA so one could argue, hey jobs are still in the US and not shipped overseas. We know better.
