Pros

Excellent brand and company values, good base salary and benefits if you can find them. Keep smiling and you will be fine.

Cons

Aggressive brutal and selfish senior management, if your face fits your ok - either that or if you keep nodding and don't have an opinion unless its the right opinion you will also be fine. All depends upon which business line you join. Everyman for themselves with lots of corporate ladder climbers all saying the right thing to the right person. Such a large organisation slow to deliver on plans or make any changes.
