Pros

There are many opportunities to work in different functions and locations and if you network and produce results you can have a great career. Many interesting and nice colleagues

Cons

It is a giant and the decision making process is very slow. Promotion is often political so networks are important. Many jobs are very internally focussed and not very transferable to other non large corporates

Stagnant at job. Hard to progress rapidly, especially at the beginning of your career, with many people holding on to their jobs.
