Pros

Your coworkers are technically competent and generally friendly. There are really good people there. It is a large company, so there is room to grow. Team leads are generally good with people.

Cons

You can get "stuck" in some jobs. This isn't bad if your job is critical, but it's awful if they decide they don't need that done anymore and consider you as less qualified than others to change roles. Some groups have excellent management, but there can be some micromanagement. Talk to people on the team you are trying to join. Recent introduction of forced ranking has reduced the collaboration that made it a great place to work.

Pros

lots of training, people are nice, lots of opportunities

Cons

internal software is frustrating, company is too big to make improvements and senior people say they support you and go talk to X, Y, and Z. Then X, Y, and Z will say "that's a good idea, it's important, I understand, but it's low priority". Even if it can save them millions.
