Pros

Great benefits, diverse workforce, large organization with opportunities to move around.

Cons

Not stable, employees have to reapply every 4 years for positions within the company creating a situation were nepotism and favoritism comes before competence. Promotion within the company is highly geared towards nepotism (AKA Networking) and less of competence.
