Pros

The name recognition is helpful in networking.

Cons

If you want to make a considerable difference, avoid this place. The executives make ridiculous salaries while entry staff makes pennies. The work they do is only done in line with corporate interests. The only highlight is some of the staff who you can share your grievances with.
