Pros

Frankly the main, and only reason, to work there is to work with the amazing IP. Really fantastic and deep pool of fiction. Also, since Marvel is on top, everyone wants to work with you and wants to PAY you to do this. Really like being in the catbird seat.

Cons

I worked there three years and was essentially fired/laid off due to a NY HQ EVP (political play). All power in this company resides in NY and there is a small group of Executives there that control the show...even with TV and Film. These Executives are not your friends and have no interest in your growth or happiness. You will be viewed as a 'means to an end'. I've seen quality and loyal (5-10 yrs for service) fired because of the NY cabal - not agreeing with their dictates. Oh, and don't expect any of those Disney perks at Marvel. Marvel is a notoriously cheap and frugal (even with their billions in profits) company. Again with the NY management team's perview...you should be happy you have a job.

Pros

Great people, some fun projects to work on (comics, movies, cartoons, etc.). Casual dress code. You get to go to movie screenings, conventions, get discounts on toys/swag. The brand recognition and positive associations with it are pretty great. People love the characters.

Cons

Shockingly stingy. No real career track, advancement/development programs. Easy to get stuck in a rut. The company does not care about investing in its people and their morale. We would get yelled at by the CEO for using too much paper when printing things out and had to recycle office supplies like file folders instead of getting new ones. The company Christmas party was moved from an outside venue to a buffet in the conference room. They used to sell merch internally cheaply (you could get a t-shirt for $1), and then they started jacking up prices a ton (t-shirts for $15+). For a company this successful, there was no reason to be so cheap.
