Pros

Large public company - looks good on a resume if you can survive

Cons

Management promotes workaholic reputation as if it is a badge of honor. Working to all hours of the evening and sending emails past midnight, through weekends, during vacations, etc. is viewed as the minimum requirement. Abusive management tactics are overlooked as long as that manager gives their all to the company. I have personally viewed multiple instances of reprehensible management behavior in public settings that could and should be reported as employee abuse. Many colleagues have escaped this company over the past 12 months and none have regretted their departure.
