Pros

Very good salary and benefits.

Cons

Company has many layers of managers that try to move people around (almost treating small teams as plug-and-play gadgets), this has resulted in high stressed environment where people have no capacity to help each other. Frequent shifting reporting line has no productivity change. Eg. Splitting up teams to let much smaller number of employees to handle original workload. Newly carve out team were not originally hired to embark on “new” promises by senior leaders, most often had resulted in failed attempts and reversion to previous arrangement and employee turnover.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
