Pros

Stable company. Good work-life balance (depending on your manager). Good benefits. Modern headquarters.

Cons

Too political. Impossible to get promoted above middle management, unless you're on the "favorites list." Slow moving / slow at making decisions. Say they don't lay people off, but do so too frequently. Constantly reorganizing.
