Pros

Not as hectic as startups, but not the easy going smooth ride as some people might expect. It is a decent mix.

Cons

They are less hard on you though even if you are lacking off, not as quick to put people under performance review, so your growth is in your own hands ultimately. Also, the raise that employees have received in recent years has been subpar.
