Pros

Decisions are clear, teamwork is great, and level of professionalism is excellent. This is a very considerate and international workplace, where people are treated with respect, from what I've seen.

Cons

Rather bureaucratic, with lots of old-school "big corporation" ways of doing things, such as archaic benefits administration software and performance review systems. Decisions drop from the top of the hierarchy ladder down like bombs occasionally. Creativity and innovation "in the trenches" is weeded out and ignored in a conservative, multi-tiered middle-management process.
