Pros

Working for such a large company gives access to very high profile and interesting projects.

Cons

The HR/Payroll/Onboarding is a complete trainwreck. I started working here more than a year and a half ago and have had abounding issues. They have you "self onboard" so nobody helps you fill out your complicated forms, and further nobody checks those forms to ensure that brand new employees have done the job correctly. In addition, once onboarded there is no way to access the forms you've submitted to ensure they're correct as well. This has led to many headaches for me personally and working here, despite a slightly above average salary, has actually put me into financial hardship.
