Pros

The name carries you a long way

Cons

Management are the stereotype of self-interested, corrupt, empire builders that are more interested in their pay packets than shareholder interests. Extremely political - individual performance matters less than connections in terms of performance reviews, salary increases and bonuses. Management will quite literally fabricate falsehoods to justify low ratings, bonuses etc. if they don't like you, and will completely omit even the most value-creating contributions.
