Pros

Like any other huge faceless corporation, there's great benefits.

Cons

Once inside, you're on your own. If you get lucky and have good manager, they'll show you how to "swim", if not, you must probably sink. You need t be a corporate "yes man" to survive in this environment where initiative and autonomy are frowned upon.

Big company, good benefits, relaxed work atmosphere, good office perks, work laptop, etc.

Very complex organization with a multitude of products. Has acquired companies and platforms over the years, so there is a lot to learn.
