Pros

Great 401k plan. Great benefits including good health insurance, great tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Promotions are based on who you know. It is very difficult to switch departments because job filling is very silo oriented. I worked there for nearly 6 years and never knew anyone that got promoted more than one time. They are very picky about you having all of the qualifications that they fill are related, including ones that they did not list in the job posting. From the time you post for a job to the time that you get the offer or rejection is usually 2 months. The job candidate selection is based 100% on subjective measures, no test, etc.
