Pros

Large company with the ability to relocate, which expands your ability to enter different career paths and good growth potential

Cons

Being such a large company however is also a con, as there are many fish in the sea. To make it you have to set yourself apart.

Pros

Great benefits - 401(k) match $0.75 on the dollar up to 6% of salary plus separate retirement fund; good health coverage; friendly and casual environment; old, established and financially stable company that's generally well respected; concerned about honesty and ethics.

Cons

Hamstrung by its own suffocating bureaucracy; too many big shots holding too many meetings but still slow to make decisions, often inconsistent from month to month, and making decisions that are "too safe" vs. aggressive competitors; difficult to advance due to a high level of internal politics.
