Pros

Good pay, benefits, flexible work hours

Cons

Corporate culture has changed for the worse over the last several years. Decisions are made with a complete lack of transparency and you can never trust that follow through will happen. Expectations that US employees must be available and work around the clock which causes burnout and resentment. Continual leaning of the workforce and refusal of leadership to prioritize means many employees are doing the job of multiple people while also wasting their time on initiatives that will never come to fruition. HR is a joke. Promotions are purely political and terrible managers are tolerated for years. Real diversity will never happen; as a former manager, I know they have no actionable plan to accomplish it.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
