Pros

Plenty of opportunities. It is a HUGE company with it's fingers in everything. Lots of opportunities to travel around the world and work with some very smart people.

Cons

There isn't really a clear direction for the company. It struggles with internal growth and relies upon acquisitions instead of internal innovation.

Pros

Very stable company to work for with great career opportunities. Excellent for work/life balance. The pay is very competitive, however we are losing ground lately to inflation and insurance costs.

Cons

Sometimes executives make knee-jerk decisions instead of looking long term. Sometimes, it is difficult to wade through the beaurocracy, but usually is is not a hinderance.
