Pros

Big company in terms of number of employees and size of campus. Nice cafeterias, great wellness facilities, good benefits. When I left it was company that had a defined contribution, defined benefit, and employee stock purchase plan. Great ways to save for retirement.

Cons

Leadership can be hit or miss depending on the department. Some leaders have progressed based on their networking and political skills as opposed to their leadership skills and technical knowledge. With that said, there are also some very good leaders.
