Pros

A lot of scope to move your career laterally. Large company ,so potential to be exposed to large projects and work with smart people.

Cons

Strong management focus on compliance and process over outcomes. In my area, little reward for success and no encouragement to move up in the organisation.

Pros

Work from home is a flexible benefit. Traveling is also not an issue, allows for personal schedule setting and flexibility.

Cons

Long string of communications to get things completed. With working at home also comes a down side. Seems like you can always take work home with you.
