Pros

You are rewarded for raising your hand and contributing meaningfully, so growth opportunities exist if you want to reach for them. Lots of professional development resources available. Strong leadership.

Cons

Large multi-national corporation, so many bureaucracies and siloed workstreams. Culture is very dependent on what business unit you are embedded in, I'm lucky to be in a good one...
