Pros

Near-infinite company resources, top of the line everything, from office amenities to software

Cons

The right hand often does not know what the left hand is doing- I was headhunted, given a signing bonus, then six months later RIF'd and given severance. Bizarre little career interlude I now have to explain at every interview
