Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, pretty up to date when it comes to tech, high level of ambition within the company, friendly colleagues, good work/life balance and my direct manager is a great guy.

Cons

It's a very big company which means it's bureaucratic and pretty heavy on management. It's hard to stand out.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
