Pros

Huge company, lots of opportunity to grow. Really diverse team of incredibly talented people which makes learning and growing personally a daily routine.

Cons

Because they are so large, there's a lot of unnecessary red tape involved in any kind of change. Poor performance is difficult to give any repercussions for and stellar performance is difficult to reward. Status quo and longevity with the company are the only surefire ways to slowly make your way up the ladder.
