Pros

Stable work, well structured, lots of career development options for learning new skills, particularly in management and project leading. Regular bonuses/salary increases, very much a place for a long career.

Cons

Management not always qualified to be people leaders, promoted based on technical achievements which can lead to some groups being poorly managed and employees being isolated / unsupported. Work tends to be repetitive and not particularly innovative despite company trying to change culture to be more "agile".
