Pros

Huge operation and organization with lots of resources, fair compensation and benefits, colleagues from all over the world, engaging and meaningful work (sometimes)

Cons

De facto class system that heavily favors international staff, hierarchical top-down structure that paralyzes middle management and junior staff and hampers necessary change and action, plenty of staff in comfy senior management positions not pulling their weight. Realistically difficult to move up or around in the organization without connections.
