Pros

Good Benefits, large company usually means a lot of places to transfer without having to leave.

Cons

A lot of politics internally means a lot of time spent working on things that get axed at the last minute. I lot of managers spend most of their time working outside their teams for political reasons and promotions and often aren't there for their team.
