Pros

If you want to work within a big network, here's your chance!

Cons

Because the company is so big, you'll feel like a small fish drowning in the Pacific Ocean. Poor management and leadership here.

Pros

The benefits are very good and it is a large company willing to invest in the future and is on the cutting edge of technology and resources that are all availble to its employees that are willing to learn. Very progressive.

Cons

Discriminates against anyone over 35. If you are looking to get promoted and are middle aged you probably won't go anywhere. I have a BA degree and excellent performance reviews and my manager told me he gave the promotion to the other assistant in department with only AA degree because he thought being younger made her better at working with the overall younger group of people in our department.
