Pros

Great co-workers from many different cultures, great benefits - especially for professionals, wholesome company values. Work/life balance if you make it your priority. The employees are highly educated so the work environment is on a high level.

Cons

It's a bureaucracy! So you need to work with that. I recommend building relationships with other departments and divisions as a short-cut to some of the red tape you might encounter. Sometimes it was frustrating trying to get work done as the goal posts kept getting moved and what was "ok" one month was not acceptable the next time you had to accomplish the same task! Many professionals travel to a great extent.
