Pros

Access to talented people, large systems, best practices and resources, where you can learn.

Cons

Promo-based development, where the actual benefit to customers is not important, but visibility within the org is utmost. Centralized ownership, top down approach. Constant reorgs and manager changes. USA teams get to work on much more interesting/innovative projects.
