Pros

- Work with some really smart people - If in the right team, you get to work on the highest needle moving work - huge org, so lots of opportunities to move within

Cons

- very top down heavy, little to no room for innovation from the bottom - of recent, it has become very waterfall vs agile/nimble. Things move slowly - not really at the forefront of latest technology, trying to dab but leadership is hesitant to hire from within to let employees who've been there for several years grow and learn something new - VERY SLOW promotions! Some people have been there for 20+ years and not been promoted in 10+ years!
