Pros

They pay pretty well, especially if you are a lateral hire and can negotiate your offer well. Work-life balance is better than average.

Cons

You need to leave independent thinking at home, else you are doomed - you either align or you get out! Losing market share rapidly, while the management fiddles, and continues to be smug. Used to have great ethical standards, but not any more. Leaders and their families enjoy at company expense.

Pros

Large company that offers decent salary. Well-known name, current technologies.

Cons

Beware: Unbelievably restrictive non-compete for non-executive (i.e., "general worker") employees. The non-compete (that everyone must sign) is written so that the employee who signs it cannot work as the same "title" anywhere in the world--not just the US. This was confirmed by a very expensive employment law attorney, and it's enforceable if you work in Texas. What company makes a low-level business analyst, technical writer, or a administrative assistant sign a document like this? It's almost unheard of.
