Pros

Big company, lots of smart people, good work/life balance and you can learn a lot there. The cafeteria is great and they have lots of clubs and sports teams you can join, if you wish.

Cons

Very tough to get promoted within your department, and thus very little incentive to do great work because the merit raises are capped at 2-3% each year and the only way to really increase your salary is to move to another department.
