Pros

Competitive salary and benefits in a large global organization with a generally cooperative work environment. Organization changes ever few years so lateral opportunities exit.

Cons

Same general politics as elsewhere. Ongoing reductions in the workforce with expectation of higher output. No reward for risk takers. Status quo is tolerated.
