Pros

Pay and benefits are really good. Since it is a huge company, there is a lot of opportunity to work on big and unique projects.

Cons

Super corporate. One meeting, a group of executives talked in acronyms for an hour. It was confusing but comical. There are too many layers of upper management. They restructure every few months. I’m convinced upper management does it to make it seem like they’re actually working. Also, office culture is HIGHLY dependent on the office location you work out of.
