Pros

Very big organization with a clear path defined for success/promotions. You get what you put in.

Very involved in huge projects with big enterprises. Some amazing clients to work with, so lots of exposure to new things. Flexibility to work in different roles and not be siloed into a title (i.e., Linux sysadmin or Windows sysadmin).

Cons

Depending on what you are recruited for, you might find yourself on the bench for a little while. There is not a clear strategic vision with the onboarding of new recruits. Each team does their own thing. There is not a lot of work available in regards to DevOps/Cloud architecting in AWS. A lot of the projects were enterprise transformation pieces, EUC, DC migration, etc. You have to do all the networking to be able to climb the ladder, and it will be a very slow process. Crazy titles: one for internal use and one to put to clients. It can be confusing getting your head around if you are not used to this concept.
