Pros

Many job opportunities to change into if you don't like what you do. There are some good managers. If you end up with a bad manager, you can find a new opportunitiy elsewhere.

Cons

It's a large company. Changes take a long time to occur. To many layers of management. To much politics.

Pros

Overall, the best place I've encountered for information sharing and collaboration amongst the technical staff. From the first day I started, scientists and engineers at the corporate and division levels were willing to spend time with me to help me solve technical problems.

Cons

The size of the company lends itself to the typical bureaucracies of a large corporation, including the usual contingent of managerial "cling-ons" who would rather take shortcuts to get to the top.
