Pros

There are not a whole lot ... Well, decent work/life balance, however, that depends on which team you're on. 20 days of paid vacation was nice ... and the perks pretty much end there.

Cons

Top-heavy for sure. Relentless cost cutting is definitely taking a toll on the current staff. Just because you can hire five warm bodies in EMC with the same salary for one in DMC, it does not mean those five can perform up to par. Promotions hardly depend on merit. If you're mediocre (or even a slacker), you may still get to become an officer if you are patient and play your cards right. This was not hypothetical. It actually happened during my time with the company.
