Pros

Top Notch leadership programs. Great pay but would probably get paid more for same job some place else. Lots of networking opportunities through the various affinity groups within company. Chance to travel internationally.

Cons

Work long hours, especially if you are at the top. In spite of lots of talk about work/life balance, it is difficult to achieve it. Performance review is so long and complex you have to go to meetings in order to make sure you grasp the concept and do it right.
