It All Depends on the Exact Job

Staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The size and breadth and diversity of such a huge corporation means that opportunities abound. It can also mean job security, and larger companies are better able to ride out "lean years"

Cons

Compensation is highly variable, and seems to be less about sheer technical competence and more about affiliation with programs that are favored by leadership. It's entirely possible to work on a project for several years and have a favorable experience, then then move to a different project with different management and a different team, and have a miserable experience. It's a crap shoot.
