Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, amazing workplace environment and topnotch colleagues. It's still the best large corporate to work for in my book. If, that is, you want to work in a large corporate. If you're in the right org or product area within the company it is possible to get to work on some fantastic projects and for your career to progress - a rising tide lifts all boats as they say. However...

Cons

.... if you are in the wrong org, one that is not growing or has poor leadership or mid-management, get out fast! You are on a dead end track and nothing you can do will change that. The company has grown so large so quickly and you can really see it is wrestling with all the problems of adolescence, with bureaucracy and politics exploding in the years I was there. Performance management is broken and the best people do not always get the rewards they deserve. Adept upward management rather than doing the best job has become the surest way to rapid career advanceent. This is a real shame and needs to be nipped in the bud asap. It is not clear that the senior management are really aware of this or have the means or desire to get to grips with it.
