Pros

I suppose job security would be a pro.

Cons

The ServiceNow platform was a joke. Maybe it had to do with the size of the company, but any kind of technical support request always took FOREVER to get resolved. Maybe I was just spoiled by working at startups in the past, but it was a real drain on productivity.
