Pros

Lot of internal job postings since it's a big company, many offices around US so if you are willing to relocate you got many options. Generally people don't feel overworked. There is a nice break room with ping-pong. You can work from home. Very good 401k match, good employee stock purchase plan program.

Cons

Computers are very locked down. Social Media, YouTube, gmail and other non-office mail servers are blocked from the office network.
