Pros

This is a HUGE company so depending on your team, it could literally be like working at two different organizations. I had a great mentor and manager here that really helped skyrocket my career. I imagine milage will vary a lot based on your placement.

Cons

Big corporate feel at times, can be a lot of work, success is very manager/team dependent
