Pros

Usually plenty of openings. Variety of teams. If you end up on a solid team you could have a good experience.

Cons

It's a large company. You'll see horrible management decisions, poor communication, teams ruined, etc. The people you work with dictate your workload and overall satisfaction. Good or bad.
