Pros

Competitive salary and equity. You learn a lot in short time. You get to talk to a lot of people in different teams,

Cons

If you are in the inner circle of the popular team, then you can be recognized/promoted. Team culture varies from team to team. If you are lucky to be in a team that collaborates, then you are fine. Otherwise, you are on your own. Morale is generally low unless you are in those teams that are collaborating. Company is very big. It is very difficult to get decision aligned. Finding the right team or person to address an issue can be very challenging.
