Pros

1. Good benefits. Nice facilities. 2. Network (Global). 3. Working with efficient people.

Cons

Getting too big brings certain degree of bureaucracy (but it's everywhere). Corporate ladder structure is fixed and standard (junior staff gets paid the average).

Pros

- great for your CV - you get to work with some of the brightest people around - learning opportunities are abundant

Cons

- political jungle - the working hours are hideous (think weekends, calls at the break of dawn) - work effort is never really appreciated. it might be smarter to "talk" your way up the ladder ;) - compensation so-so (do not believe what you read in the papers sweeties)
