Pros

Middle ground on work life balance and culture if you join the right group. Big brand, used to be seen as sluggish but improved now. If you can join a group that has WFH then that is great, else most people are asked to come thrice a week.

Cons

Like all other companies, lateral hires get more than encumbents so little incentive for people to stay on. Any senior level growth is quite difficult. Bell curve fitting introduced now which forces more competition than collaboration.
