Pros

Depending on manager, you can work remotely sometimes. Other managers, not so much. Hours aren't extreme that I've seen.

Cons

Very stingy on raises and bonuses, as others have noted. Little career growth, low vacation total, corporate culture can be stifling, lots of "not my job" - put in requests and they close them without doing anything to increase their close rates. Upper management seems detached, little concern for rank&file.

Pros

Great benefits, extremely flexible working conditions (including a generous remote-work policy, although this is dependent on the group)

Cons

Pay is effectively fixed, bonuses are basically non-existent or so small as to not bear mention, and stock options have virtually dried up. Advancement can be tough, depending on the group. Bureaucracy is terrible, much as I'm sure it is at any company of 100,000+ employees.

Pros

Recognized name, good benefits, nice office, corporate discounts, great location, the projects you are building will be used by millions of people.

Cons

Too heavy-weight processes (waterfall), too many levels of management (11), outdated development tools; hard to make a differenece; you will have to follow established rules even if you know how to do things better; compensation is lower than competitors'.
