Pros

Work-life balance if you don't want to get ahead in your career.

Cons

Non-stop propaganda about cost cutting and improving work environment without any focus on individuals. Many rounds of random lay offs and restructuring in different departments, resulting in even larger bonuses and salaries for senior management and above. Main focus is on "How great do I look in front of directors and VP", while forgetting that content and not pretty pictures matter. No personal accountability. Lots of redundant work for the sake of work. No common sense. Amother big issue is that even VPs don't have any say, except on spelling and choice of charts in the presentstions. Any level below is expected to agree and follow upper command, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Pros

Pay and Human Resources focus on development of employees.

Cons

Nepotism, Retaliation, Favortism. Hiring based on you sharing the same ethnicity as the hiring manager. Managers only promote their own ethnicity. You have to find your sponsors or there is no movement. Lots of promotions and hiring based on race and promotions on friendships. Reorganizations are an opportunity for upper management to get back at employees critical of them. Vice-President millionaires only motivated in protecting their jobs.

Pros

Big corporation Stable Job Security Can go un-noticed if you have no goals

Cons

Cult like culture. You're either going to kiss butt and be in or you're out. It's not about doing your job well. It's about kissing the right person's behind and having a good relationship with those people. The rest of the workers run around and alienate any other talent that joins the company. I have never seen more qualified people to come in and leave a company so quickly but I get it. If you're not part of the cult and don't play games then you are treated as an outcast and eventually pushed out. The "in" people are constantly undermining new talent and pushing them out and unfortunately I don't think the management notices or cares. As a result everyone is over worked and the pay is not on par with the market because all the projects go over.
