Pros
There are a lot of opportunities for advancement! They offer time, resources, and avenues for growth! Most of the teams/leaders I have interacted with embrace change! They strike the balance of inclusivity / acceptance AND pursuing excellence really well! Overall, It's a great org run by great humans, but your experience WILL be what you make of it.
Cons
It's run by people, and it will be what you make of it :) It's a large org, so my experience is not indicative of the WHOLE, just from my vantage point. There is a lack of clarity in how things work from an organizational standpoint because there are a lot of parts to the whole. this lack of clarity bleeds into career advancement. I do disagree with the direction they currently are moving in from a career advancement perspective, there is a lot of onus put on the individual to prove and strive towards.. that IMO has a propensity towards politics, over people. I understand and appreciate the heart behind how they do what they do, but I think there has been a side-effect that is not as desirable! From a technical standpoint, its a heavy organization with a lot of moving parts that makes change cumbersome. Buying/selling used cars is more complex than you may think - and having been in the game as long as they have - you have a lot to change!

Pros
They focus a lot on employee training and development. Software Engineers have a lot of freedom to focus on the work they enjoy.
Cons
The bonus structure is a bit confusing, and ends up being less than expected.
