Pros

Aside from few nice people and sometimes work-life balance (depending on department), none

Cons

Unless you are British or have "brown nose" don't expect to get anywhere in this company. Cons are not limited to: Career advancement and recognition of efforts, Promotion process and reviews, Rotten Internal politics, Pay and bonuses compare to the street. Just to give you a flavor attrition rate is ~15-17% and goes as high as 33-34% in some departments. That should tell you something if 1 out of every 4 people leaves the company dissatisfied
