Pros

Flexibility, work from home (or remotely), most managers are not constantly over your shoulders, pretty good pay and benefits.

Cons

Due to flexibility very difficult to meet people face2face. Lot of CYA type activities due to matrix type organization. Sometimes I do not see my manager for weeks, this could be good and bad. Things that used to take 4 weeks at a smaller company, take about 2 to 3 months here because it's tough to get people together. Expect to work long hours and odd hours as parts of you team may be based all over the world and thus, late evenings for Australia meetings and Early AM for UK meetings. Management impliments processes without input from the folks who actually have to live with it. A lot of Knee Jerk Reactions. People are over worked.

Pros

Large company, with good employee working conditions, respect for employees and opportunities to grow. Managers typically find healthy balance between work and life for their teams.

Cons

Its size can sometimes mean it moves very slowly. Over the long term job progression comes for those who put in the effort and get results, but the onus is mostly on the employee to drive their own careers. Moving around the business can be difficult, but is possible for the persistent. Long term employees means there can be a mix of abilities.
