Pros

Flexible work hours (summer hours) Global resources/brands/opportunities A brand name that people recognize externally

Cons

Changes happen slowly b/c of org size (battleship, not rowboat) Can definitely feel like just a cog in a massive machine High turnover in recent years

Pros

Huge global structure, great brands to manage. Learn real Marketing with several sources of information and courses. Enhance your CV and make international carrer a possibility.

Cons

Not the best work life balance. Internal politics requires good negotiation skills to keep you on focus and make things happen. Career growth is not as fast as it was in the past. Too many processes, creating some bureaucracy that slow things down.
