Pros

Great development opportunities Nice people across multiple functions Global presence with many opportunities to travel Pay is OK, benefits are good

Cons

Matrix organization can make things difficult to get done - although this is changing somewhat Pay is OK, not great Large company problems like bureaucracy like any other similar sized company Pending acquisition by a nationalized Chinese company creates a lot of uncertainty
