Pros

Large company = lots of interesting projects going on/get involved in Plenty of opportunity to relocate if that interests you

Cons

Large company = you are simply employee #xxxxxxx out of ~45,000 worldwide Unusual combination of messages from C-level execs (one day we're doing GREAT, then 45 minutes later, they announce layoffs) Incredibly rapid non-organic expansion from mergers, typically a few companies every quarter. Upper management seems very disconnected from "normal" employees. (I've been here for ~ 1 year, I've met my direct boss once, and never met anyone above him in my Business Line).

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
