Pros

Great opporunities for real freedom very early in your career. When you are told its your job to do x or y, it really is. Management is generally supportive and provides strong coaching. The training that is provided is very good and is common to all employees which creates a strong unity of purpose.

Cons

Expectations for career advancement can be overplayed. When you are told you will be associate director in 8 years this is only true if you are both exceptionally talented and have complete international flexibility. The organisation can also be quite rigid, if you haven't used the right words to describe your idea it probably won't go anywhere.

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".
