Pros

Fantastic benefits, decent pay/rewards, work impacts a lot of people

Cons

Crazy bureaucracy, cross-team collaboration is both frequent and frustrating, nothing is documented, everyone is trying to meet seemingly arbitrary deadlines all the time, inscrutable urgent requests from upper managements, PMs try to micro-manage you
