Pros

Entrepreneurial feel for a big company. Lots of freedom to do your own thing, at least in some areas of the company. Fast-paced, and many good, smart people to make things happen.

Cons

Not overly innovative. Need some big changes to continue past success. Expect high levels of work from employees but declining topline growth doesn't leave room for career or salary growth.
