Pros

The breadth of career opportunities can be overwhelming - you can literally work anywhere in the world, affecting all types of industries, customers segments and technologies. Benefits are great (100% health care coverage!), and the salaries are at or above market.

Cons

Typical of most large companies, there are politics and "insider"-type information that is sometimes necessary to keep up with in order to get where you want to be career-wise. Easy to get lost in the shuffle of things and find your career stagnate.

Pros

Great, competitive peers. Great benefits. Great work-life balance. Challenging work assignments. Nice work environment. Decent training available. Beautiful part of the world.

Cons

Crowded office situation, quite often having to share an office. Lots of egos to work with. Commute to and from is not fun.
