Pros

An enormous body of institutional knowledge; benefits that, while maybe not the gold-plated Cadillac that they were 10 years ago, are still top-notch; recent much-ballyhooed "cultural changes" are really happening, at least in some groups.

Cons

Tends to be a lot of overhead & red tape between you & your job; dependence on other teams, especially distant ones, can be nightmarish; many of the engineering tools/practices are NOT state-of-the-art.

Pros

Lots of opportunities, smart people, good work life balance.

Cons

Too many layers of management, lots of people in the comfort zone and not agile enough.
