Pros

There are very talented people in every part of the business and at seemingly every level. The detail in almost everything is scrutinized and appreciated for what it is or isn't. The scale of your work is unlimited, everything (for better or worse) grows to a massive scale.

Cons

Learning how to get started can delay the ability to contribute for the first few weeks/months. It can be difficult to collaborate with people in entirely different business units.
