Pros

Competitive and even over market salary with annual bonus in the Spring, several opportunities for growth through shadowing, group trainings, one on one mentorship and incentive programs. Easy and encouraged to move around the organization for great variety. Left because it was so big the piece I was doing was so small and felt I needed a challenge at a smaller company for a time but will be back at some point in my life because the culture and opportunities can hardly be beat.

Cons

Very big, less ownership over processes and slow ability to change or make a big impact.
