Pros

Big worldwide company - more opportunities, more chances to see other places around the world. Personal processes (Learning & development, promotion) are well established and continuously evolving.

Cons

Industry is very unstable, takes big dives every 2-3 years making the job security challenging. Share value has been flat in the past years. Salery is OK compared to other companies.
