Pros
Large company, a lot of support structures in place if you look for them, decent salary compared to my previous job in a similar position. If you're interested in particular areas of science you can use their resources/subscriptions to keep up to date with the latest research.
Cons
Very different cultures between departments. Whilst some departments enjoy 'away days', cake sales, open office environments and social activities, other departments work in complete solitude where everyone sits in their own individual bubbles, headphones on, not interested in any of their colleagues. Difficult to get to know people if you end up in one of these departments.
