Pros

Good salary, friendly people (in my experience), great opportunity to learn.

Cons

In a big company, layoff decisions often come from upper management with little to no interaction with managers. Layoffs are triggered by stock price more than the value added by a specific individual or team. The company is very "frugal," with little to no perks, no free food or drinks, etc.
