Pros

Great base pay, flexible management who put employees needs high on the list. Good companies attract good people. The health, safety and general well being of the employees would rival any company.

Cons

A larger company sometimes mean things are done at snail pace and urgency in some things is not at the forefront. Decisions tend to take longer than they should.

Pros

Great systems in place for employees, good culture, good pay as well.

Cons

Nothing unexpected for such a large company, my boss was both wonderful in that if I spoke to him more than twice a year it was a lot, but the resulting lack of direction wasn't great for career progression in my department at least.
