Pros

If you are a diverse candidate, you will absolutely get an opportunity to interview and have promotaional opportunities that likely would not be there otherwise if you are an existing exiting employee. The pay is good but it comes with many frustrations and a lot of work.

Cons

For a company so large, it is remarkable how favoritism is so prevelant at the executive level. Finance seems particularly poor in this area, and although there are employee surveys that have historically shown this to be an issue, it goes completely unaddressed. This makes excelling beyond a mid level management level beyond the reach of the substantial majority.
