Pros

Can work on a wide variety of projects. Contribute to many different aspects of the business. Solid engineers to learn from.

Cons

Management has no idea how to contribute effectively. Everyone just has meetings to talk about having the next meeting. Things do not get done, and when they are done, its way too late and the features do not capture everything required.

Pros

Great benefits and salary overall.

Cons

Depends on what part of the organization you're in, but my part was not in a good shape, the company doesn't fire under-performers, yet due to huge middle management (6 line managers between you and the SVP which worked as a CTO) it's very easy to stay in the company where you don't really work. And in return, raises and promotions are a bit delayed for everyone.
