      Pros

      Strong brand name to have on your resume with a company that's been very successful in recent years.

      Cons

      Poor company culture, constant shuffling of employees and management and reorganizations that don't lead to any tangible benefits and perceived lack of direction.

      Name .... that's it.

      Pros

      Great Benefits, job security, and you have the ability to work in other cities as it is a large company.

      Cons

      Long hours as it is a global company. Meetings have to be scheduled so all attendees from several countries can make it. This forces you to take 5am or 6pm meetings a couple times a week. Projects taken much longer to complete due to developers working across different countries. It also takes a lot longer to complete projects due to needing approval from the New York office technology department before proceeding with each step of development.
