Pros

Great benefits and people who are interesting. Opportunities to travel and use your second language.

Cons

Bureaucratic maze with a language of their own. They don't see innovation and out of the box thinking as necessarily a good thing.

Pros

Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

Cons

Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
