Pros

Pay well, generally with good benefits

Cons

The promotion and review system that defines the corporate hierarchy is fundamentally corrupt and dishonest. People are promoted not for 'what they do for the company' but for what they do for the GROUP that promotes them. Anyone who can't figure this out at P&G is an idiot. Managers don't care either. The immoral system simply continues to perpetuate itself. People who have real principles will be happier elsewhere, even if they aren't paid as well.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
