Pros

Large corporation, plenty of opportunity to move around within the company. Corporate presence worldwide enables opportunity for global travel and interaction with multiple cultures.

Cons

Pipeline stalled, substantial layoffs since 2010 with no end in sight. Senior management does not state a target for layoffs which leaves everyone insecure about job security.
