Pros

Large teams, big projects, and a nice pace for development and pursuit of personal goals. Good work life balance. Many chances to move and carve out your own opportunities by being proactive enough

Cons

Work life balance can vary, some people are 200% utilised whilst others aren't even 80%. Suffers from large corporate IT bureaucracy and office politics
