Pros

SR pays well with good benefits, if you could be an obedient person to your manager then you will receive support and good learning and development opportunities. Good marketing effort, loud company value advocate, good communication material (sometimes overflown and overwhelmed). A few good leaders

Cons

Senior management sucks, they all carry their own personal agenda to exist. Political bombs and games every where, they talk but don't expect them to walk. Only a few cares about their people and they will only talk silently and lost their voice over time. Super complex and matrix so there are chances that people an work around silos and still make a good and elegant living. Senior management are managers but not leaders, so they control, dictate with no empowerment. If you like to conform then it's the company that you shall consider.
