Pros

Great benefits, job security, and you have the ability to work in other cities as it is a large company.

Cons

Long hours, as it is a global company. Meetings have to be scheduled so all attendees from several countries can make it.

This forces you to take 5 a.m. or 6 p.m. meetings a couple times a week.

Projects take much longer to complete due to developers working across different countries. It also takes a lot longer to complete projects due to needing approval from the New York office technology department before proceeding with each step of development.
