Pros

-compensation is good -cool projects to work on -IBM Design was notable up until recent years -worked remotely for a bit (was then laid off due to not living near a 'strategic site')

Cons

-work/life balance is either 0 or 100 -some disciplines lack respect for design -promotion cycles are vague and not promised -lack of diversity but especially in higher positions -stale approach to cutting edge technology
