Pros

Opportunities to do interesting work.

Cons

So much bureaucracy, so many unnecessary meetings. Way too many managers, all needing to invent changes to justify their roles and get promoted.

Excellence is not valued; the ability to bring in money is the only thing valued. The issue is, the ability to bring in money is extremely strongly tied to what team you are in and what internal/external opportunities you are exposed to. Many people are in dead-end teams that never see or generate funding opportunities, and hence careers are capped quite quickly.
